Congratulations Pat Powell!

Congratulations to HBS Member, Pat Powell! Pat’s bracelet, Starfruit Punch was accepted into the "Green Jewelry: Recycled/Upcycled" exhibit at 18 Hands Gallery .

Pat says "The technique is kumihimo and it is made with recycled sari silk. I just loved the colors in the silk and found some beads to accent the piece…"

The second annual Green Jewelry show features an array of exciting jewelry fashioned from unexpected materials and all work consists of at least 75% recycled materials.

The Green Jewelry: Recycled/Upcycled exhibit opens with a reception on Saturday, July 7th at 249 W. 19th Street, Houston, TX 77008 (in the Heights) from 6:00 to 9:00 pm.
