Bakelite
Button & Beads Monet Charm Bracelet Gypsy's
Jewels
34
antique buttons adorn this vintage Monet chain link
bracelet. The charm bracelet has an old New England
Nautical flavor. The tiny carved Bakelite fish a top
a button from an old Navy Pea coat with it's anchor
insignia set the tone which is carried through by the
celluloid sail boat and white star. The bracelet measures
7 1/2" and has the Monet metal tag.
The
book value on just the fish, the red and yellow layered
and carved and the red and yellow hot dog style
is way above the starting bid. This is a one of a kind
beauty is not to be missed!
Most
Gypsy art falls under the Altered Art
category. I have always called it Found Art...
Because I found the materials and inspiration
in very strange places. Perhaps it is the Gypsy Sight
the enables me to see the alternative lives these pieces
could have and it is this promise of what could be that
guides my hands in the creating of these treasures.
