You've probably noticed that I've recently been on somewhat of a braided/rope jewelry kick recently. Recently though...much like Superman running headfirst into a block of kryptonite...or Popeye losing his can opener and finding an unopened can of spinach in at the back of a kitchen cabinet...I have met my match. For even though the twisted cotton cord has been organically hand-dyed using cochineal, logwood, osage and onion skin...I can't help but imagine that Rapunzel has been locked in the tower so long that her hair turned gray...
