Bullfinch & Barbury ~ Handmade Enameled Goods

This was a bracelet that I made for me! And now look . . . it's on Etsy! I made another bracelet that is now my very own (in B&B's colors: turquiosey teal and carmine red).



I called it Painterly . . . because the ghostly poetry that is stamped into the metal has been slipped under a veil of periwinkle enamel. You could stop and read the words, but they are present more for an impression-- like a line of poetry whispered in your ear.

One of my dad's antique statues was obliging enough to model my Painterly bracelet . . . and so was my cousin, Elisabeth!
