Back To The Bracelet

A gift from his longtime celebrity friend that wishes to remain anonymous who, according to Sr., is a White Witch and current reincarnation of an ancient Celtic Horse Goddess who shared past life regression sessions with him that were administered by a recognized expert in the field.

  It is a Bali and Tibetan Silver, Coral, Turquoise, Glass and Clay African Trade Bead Magic Mala Bracelet by Margie Melby from C.J., Sr's Estate, as the title implies.

It is one that he favored and added to his extensive collection.

It was made by a recognized artist and sold exclusively through The Adobe Fine Art Center in New Mexico who currently has others starting at $495.00 each that sell out quickly and do not seem to be available on the secondary market.  The bracelet is in excellent overall condition with no signs of damage or repair.

Mostly taken from The Adobe Fine Art Center website which tells us;

The Adobe Fine Art is an award-winning art center offering  the works of world-class contemporary and historical masters.  Their's is a rich collection of original fine art paintings, exclusive fine giclées, bronze sculpture, designer jewelry, and more.

 They have been a trusted source for collectors worldwide for 26 years.

Margie Melby graduated from U.T. Austin with a BA in Psychology and while attending graduate school embarked on an art career making paper mache box purses.  Art has been a major focus in her life since.   She has been a painter, enamelist and finally found her passion for metalwork, creating “Art for the Body”.

 She studied for five years with Rachelle Thiewes at UTEP and has taken workshops with Boris Bally, Richard Mawdsley, Glenda Arentzen, Claire Sanford, Bob Ebendorf, and others. 

 She lives part-time on her ranch in New Mexico where the rich archaeological sites have had a profound influence on her most recent pieces.  Her work is taken on a simpler and more primitive form.  While at the ranch there may be a kids’ camp in a session where Melby teaches arts and crafts, an archaeological seminar studying the Indian pueblo, or a group of city slickers.  When time permits, Margie rides her cutting horses, gathers cattle, and collects ideas for more art.

Nice addition to any collection, wardrobe or decor, displays really well.

Really doesn't get any better than this.
