I have found a couple of drinks helps with the weight of earrings… at some point you just don’t care anymore :rofl:

Thank you! It was time for a change.

@here4turquoise, I wonder if the “wood” beads are Water Buffalo horn?

I am not sure. Here are a couple of natural light close up pics. The beads do have a “grain”.

I’m going to say yes these are Buffalo. I like the beads : )

Very cool. I will have to ask Cheyenne if her dad ever used water buffalo beads.

I don’t believe he made these beads; the silver ones in particular look Asian to me. Which would make complete sense with Water Buffalo horn, because it is an Asian animal. I’ve never seen anything made by him with beads like that (obviously I haven’t seen everything he has made). He did have handmade silver link chains at one of the art markets, maybe you can find one of those online.

:shushing_face: Cheyenne says she has a beaded necklace that would be perfect with it. I have to wait until after the first of the year.

Ah water buffalo - one of our county deputies found that when one is hit while standing in the middle of the road with your cruiser responding to a call early in the morning, it’s like hitting a brick wall (and they’re pavement colored). We have a local landowner/construction guy who was incensed that the county billed him for a new cruiser (we don’t have open range, and his fences were sketchy at best). This has nothing to do with beads, but water buffalo are not a “native to the Northwest” kind of animal.

What? Did it get loose from a zoo?? They aren’t native to the US. I’m confused. Was someone raising them??

Yup, the landowner had a bunch of them in a feedlot essentially - ticked off his neighbors as that was something the farm wasn’t zoned for, it certainly did smell.

Oh my! That’s bizarre. I hope the deputy is okay! Them’s some big beasties :hushed:

Okay weird coincidence. As I was typing this, I also have on a show where they’re trying to find the supposedly extinct Ivory Billed Woodpecker down in LA. I looked up, and the guy on the show says, “oh my gosh, there’s a water buffalo in the bayou.”
