Earliest Jewelry for Hippies on the Haight

Welcome to week two.
Alex remembers a family trip out west as a child, driving through the giant redwood trees and falling in love with the Western United States.
While living in San Francisco in 1968 he was exposed to the graphic genius of the Fillmore Poster Artist Rick Griffin.  It was an art education of its own kind.

While working at Hippie stores on the Haight like Wild Colors, Middle Earth and Happy Jack, he was encouraged to paint and created some of his earliest jewelry.  The pieces were carved from redwood bark, painted and strung on leather cord.

For this week's chapter, Alex has recreated 7 special pieces of his earliest work.  He has painted desert flower blossoms on hand carved and varnished redwood bark.  Just like his earliest creations, they are strung on leather and painted with love.  These are rare pieces for collectors to own.  They can be purchased in out webstore until they are sold out.

Tune in for next week when we explore more of Alex's early jewelry experiments.
