Bling Rings

Hulk & Baby took a trip to Northampton, MA some time ago.

Here's what they discovered: http://www.artomat.org/guidelines.html

The converted cigarette-machine-that-now-sells-art was a little overwhelming: choose a mini-mask, beaded jewelry, painted wood blocks, a mystery piece...What to do? (Especially difficult because Baby is drawn to the mysteries, even in the form of corner store grab bags, loot bags, and surprises).

In the end, they both chose felt rings by PenFelt, "A fabulous way to hug your finger!"


Baby got a ring style dubbed 'single candy' by the artist; Hulk's is a double ballie. They've taken to calling each other after their ring styles, and Hulk delights in how filthy Baby's ring is already.

So, Single Candy and Double Ballie are out in the world today, probably reading books, fingers tightly hugged and snugged away.

It warms my fuzzy finger to know that Penfelt rings are entwingled somewhere over there in the far east! I made the rings in rainy Portland, OR and it is a wonder to think there's someone out there answering to "double ballie".
