Stormy Weather

Don't know why there's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together,
Keeps rainin' all the time...


Okay. Maybe life isn't bare, gloom and misery everywhere... but here's a bracelet with the colors of a stormy day or a winter sky, inspired by the EHAG challenge ("The Weather Outside is Frightful"). The tones are grays, hematite, and and black.



There's a sterling silver lightning bolt and Thai Karen silver charms that I choose to think are rain, mixed in with foiled lampwork glass recycled beach glass, Swarovski crystals, hematite rounds and hearts, cat's eye beads Czech glass & fire polish crystals.



Love that hematite.  Not only is the color and luster spectacualr, but the ancient Egyptians used Hematite in the creation of their magical amulets, some of which were treatments for madness and inflammation. Hematite relates to the Mars, the Roman God of War. Roman warriors used Hematite as protection during battle; they believed it could even make them invincible. So perhaps this will not only make you invincible, but will protect you from madness (and inflammation!)



And maybe from stormy weather.
