    Well the deed is done. I made the bracelet from memory so I can't
    say it was an exact copy. The customer it was for was my one
    wholesale customer who commits to work at times without checking with
    me (we need to talk). I put a piece of his turquoise as the center
    stone just to say, "you're in it with me, pal." It will be delivered
    it a brown paper bag hopefully never to be seen again. I didn't put
    my usual maker's mark on it either. 

    To make the process even more enjoyable my son would walk by my
    bench and make comments like, "Are you in some sort of ugly jewelry
    making contest?" and, "Hey Dad! One of the dogs just created
    something that looks just like that in the back yard."
