GraysGallery

I love etsy.  There are so many wonderful handmade items.  And buying handmade goods is a special experience.  My most recent experience excited me so much, that I had to blog about it.  For my birthday, my husband ordered me this necklace--it has bullets, coins, and lots of chains--pretty awesome...really awesome.  I got the package yesterday, and the box itself had me almost as excited as the piece itself.  A part of me didn't even want to undo it.  And if you think the box is going into the garbage, you're wrong--I'm saving it; that will be the necklace's home...unless of course, it's around my neck...which it was last night.  Weston Gray, the artist who designed and made this wonderful piece (pieces) of art houses his work, for sale on etsy.  His shop can be found here: GraysGallery.  His shop's focus is "handmade, upcycled, repurposed jewelry and clothing."  Here you will find some very creative items, and you can be pretty sure that GraysGallery will impress you before you even get the item out of the box, due to the packaging design.

The box has been beautifully designed to match the necklace itself.

The note and the package that held the necklace were tied with leather.

Even the "tag" was amazing--it had a circular war image,
Weston Gray, the artist who made the necklace signed the back, there's a patch, and a little metal tag.

Thank you, Weston Gray for providing me with a little bit of awesome.
