Word to Yo' Mutha'

Mother of Pearl, that is. This is by far, one of my wife's favorite pieces. I've used absolutely no adhesive, yet a small monkey could swing from it and the lashings wouldn't come undone (However, do not try that at home because the shell could break... lol). I took a relatively large Mother of Pearl shell, cut it to it's desired size, making sure to gently sand the edges for a smoother, cleaner effect. I then added decorative and functional lacing to the ends of the shell making it a one-of-a-kind necklace for that special vahine (woman) in your life. I topped it all off with a heavy-duty shell lock so that it not only looks good from the front, but from the back, as well. Rock this and I GUARANTEE that the compliments will keep rollin' in. Word to yo' Mutha'... of Pearl!

Parkin' Lot Pimpin'

Besides making Polynesian jewelry and memorabilia, I love doing body work on cars. Rolling by Sun Valley Mall yesterday, I saw a bunch of old cars just pimpin' in the parking lot. I love old cars like kids love candy- I just can't get enough. I don't know how often these guys are out there, but every once in a while I spot it and for the first time, I had the time to stop. Sharing my finds...

Gēkin'...

about a few things that are coming up:

1. Working on some up-coming projects with Gekd Concepts. Check out the post here.

2. Selling some of my wares at the PIC (Pacific Islanders' Club) show on April 11, 2009 at San Francisco State University's auditorium. We'll be selling Samoan lava lavas, Maori jade pendants lashed by yours truly, bone pendants custom made and lashed by me, as well.
We'll also have Cukui T-Shirts and shoes designed by Sef Samatua. Check out the links for more information on the Cukui & Samatua product lines. Here's a sneak peek of my jewelry. The beauty of it? I don't use any adhesives- it's just the sheer creative nature of my mind.

And I'm out... One.
