The Story Behind the Bonz...
The items on this page were all created by my very good friend Cathy Lanzl. Cathy has a unique fascination with the skeletal structure of animals and is always looking for interesting bones. On her many travels to exotic locations (Amazon, Cabo San Lucas) Cathy keeps one eye on the shoreline, ever watchful for interesting remnants of an expired life form. She selected a few of the more interesting specimens and cast them in sterling silver. With a little modification some of the silver bones were made into wonderful findings. Fish vertebrae, for example, from a variety of different sized fish provide a useful spectrum of spacers that I use in my beaded jewelry designs. I enjoy incorporating Cathy's unique findings into my pieces and I think you will too. They are great conversation pieces...every time someone asks you, "What's that!?" you and your customers will have a great little story to tell.
