“Hey! I told a friend in France about our Blog and he said he would have known it was mine even if I had not told him because he recognized my hands in the picture,” laughed Silvio. “As boys, we spent afternoons playing the guitar together.”
On the bench, today, a beautiful turquoise and fossilized coral bracelet is taking shape. “There will be hinges between each stone,” explains Silvio, “right now I’m making the base.”
He pulls out another bracelet from a bag. “I made this a while back. It hooked on something. It had to hook very bad. I have to reconstruct one of the hinges.”
“We are shopping around for a good camera with a macro lens so we can create higher-quality photographs,” adds Silvio, “then I’ll be able to take snap shots as soon as I finish a new piece.”
