That bracelet is Random Artisan polymer clay. Just as well - Mackenzie-Childs makes me run for the Exit. The goldtone one however is either a...
I've always thought the same of Keith Haring and frankly Basquiat. Never understood the appeal of either. Right place right time about covers...
Mascall sounds right.
She was probably making a copy of a Rockwell drawing for practice or as a gift. It's not meant to be mistaken for the real thing.
Honest decorator art/starving artist/art-by-the-yard pieces are fine. It's the price his bits are selling for that incites derision.

Most of those look commercial rather than hand-made. A crafter would love them.

Nice. Good rescue too. Looks like somebody opened it with a hammer and an icepick.
Thanks. The chain it was with was junky, but the bird is nice.
Some of this weekend's finds. Gold and silver jewelry. Pearls. Antique 14k ring. 18k bird sold with a 14k chain...for $5. The one nice...
Now that is a nice piece. Very modern ...until you look at the back. Too bad the person who made it didn't SIGN the blasted thing.
Seconded. You can spot a Parrish in a blind minute once you've seen a few. This is by someone from the same era, but not him.
Seconded. A cleaning rod wouldn't need to push a hole in fabric.
Might be; it's an older word that might have come over with New York Dutch immigrants. :cat:
I think the black was added after the bits were applied, thoroughly confusing the issue.
Separate names with a comma.
