My first model is the lovely, Rosalita, patient and always smiling. She adores rings but, alas, has no fingers. She is considering getting her ears pierced. Since she is so young to make such an important decision, we will have to discuss this first. Her other interests, aside from jewelry, are surfing and baseball.

Frankie is my second model. She is an older woman, not quite as well bred as Rosalita but certainly a beauty in her own right. I found her on the streets, took pity on her and gave her a home. Little did I know that her passion is jewelry. Not only does she like to wear it but she also likes to eat it. She has devoured several chunks of amethyst. Because of her propensity for stealing gemstones, she has done time in prison. Since her release she has been fully rehabilitated and admits that she made many mistakes in her past. She no longer steals gemstones. Instead, she has learned how to dig for turquoise in mines in New Mexico and Arizona, much like pigs foraging for truffles. She has become quite a celebrity.



The lucky winner will receive the moonstone, brass and bone necklace; the five strand hessonite, coin citrine and free form citrine necklace; and finally, the two strand calcite and amethyst necklace.
What a great post. You made me smile but I could never vote. Its like being asked to chose between your children.
ReplyDeletethose are some beautiful models, can I get their numbers?
ReplyDeleterosey all the way.
ReplyDeleteI think both of the models should win...They're both lovely in their own way. Did they pick out their own pieces to model?
ReplyDeleteYes, they each picked out exactly the same jewelry. Isn't that amazing? Just think what they could do if they had fingers instead of paws. Also: I cannot give you their phone numbers unless you give me your identity. You cannot be anonymous forever. I must protect the integrity of my models.
ReplyDeleteYes, this was posted a year ago but my models are now famous and demanded to have the story of their success published. While I am no longer selling my jewelry at Skaneateles Artisans but have since, along with my beautiful models, moved on to Gallery 54, this story will remain in the annals of bloghood.
