Birth of the Metallicuff


Each piece has a birth. It is a moment of conception. It is the moment you feel the piece in your mind even if you can not see it. And, this piece was born out of another interest of mine. I adore the genre of a supernatural reality under the veneer of a normal world. Because of this I am drawn to books like the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher, movies like Underworld, and TV like Supernatural. So during the second break of Supernatural series this year this year, I was left wondering what would happen next. I watched old episodes to get my fix. Because like many I find myself faithfully following the Winchester brothers as they battle Heaven and Hell to protect the humans around them.

I also found myself wanting to own the car. It is a 1977 Impala with a hard top. It is the sexiest car that would allow you to fit a dead body in the trunk. It drives up next to you and you instinctively lock your doors. The long shiny black lines flicker in the rear view mirror. Then somewhere along the line, I found myself surrounded my black beads, a silver center piece, and a cuff blank. Then the Metalicuff was born. It is named after it's automotive brother the Metalicar.

Side note: I am totally a Dean Girl.
