"This project started, with of all things, needlepoint. For graduation presents, I had designed and stitched needlepoint belts of my two sons' respective boarding school campuses. I got to thinking, this would translate beautifully into a bangle bracelet. I dashed off paintings which I had made into bangles for some special clients, including the Ocean House resort in Watch Hill, and Thomas Jefferson's Monticello."
The Chapel Hill design is a collaboration with the Fab Foo in Raleigh. We are sold out of our stock, but click here to purchase through the Fab Foo.
Hand painted artwork reproduced as electroplated gold over stainless steel bangle. The inside diameter is 6.5 cm, the circumference measures 21.5 cm (the same size as a Hermes medium).
I have also designed a bangle for my hometown of Alexandria, VA, as a fundraiser for my garden club. Click here to purchase that design , which benefits the civic projects of The Garden Club of Alexandria.
