Brățară din cupru Doina București

This is the piece I wear the most—each braid is hand-woven, over and under, with the tension kept even around the entire circumference to remain true to the pattern. I created it for the people whose ankles and feet have carried them without complaint for decades, and whose circulation needs to keep pace with their lives, which do not slow down.

There is something about its weight on the ankle—essential, present—that people notice immediately or return later to tell me about. Those who wear copper regularly say the same thing: they have stopped noticing what they previously perceived.

This is one of the last bracelets I am making before I close my workshop for good. I hope it finds a worthy ankle.
