"All Sorts of Oohs"

Whenever I donate to an auction, I choose to do it because of the cause it supports.  I will always support the boys' school, my alma mater, and various foundations around the area that are close to my heart.

But it's not often that I get any feedback from the person who won it. I knew that a friend had been outbid.  I just didn't know who walked away with it in the end.  So, after having donated my Bacchus Lariat to the York School auction, I was very excited to get this email from the winner:

"Guess what: I’m the one who bought it. It’s terrific. I wore it today and got all sorts of oohs. Thanks from York, thanks from me. Love seeing those boys and being in touch from afar; they are growing up so fast!"

Enjoy!

Bacchus II Lariat

To the Greeks he was Dionysus.  To the Romans he was Bacchus.  To both cultures, he was the god of wine and intoxication. 

I created a wine-themed lariat for York School's fundraising gala on March 5th, 2011; I liked it so much I decided to make a similar piece for sale with slightly different gems and glass pieces.

This Bacchus lariat features a hefty sterling silver grape cluster on one strand and Bacchus's face on a grape leaf on the other, recycled glass in deep red and black, garnets, and hematite are handwired with sterling silver complete this one-of-a-kind piece.  Click here to purchase this piece on etsy.
