Jaws Necklace

I came across this Jaws necklace on Imgur the other day. There wasn’t any information about it. It couldn’t be too terribly difficult to make. Start with come clay, paints and get some chains. And as a fan of “Bruce the Shark,” I may end up giving this a try.

But I decided to take a peek on Etsy to see if I could find it. While I couldn’t find it on Etsy, I did find a very cool alternative.

The design on this slice of birch tree is a combination of colored pencils and ink. It’s been sealed with a high-gloss epoxy and coated with a matte varnish. Despite being sealed, Kahahuna doesn’t recommend getting this piece excessively wet because it may cause the wood to swell and damage the design. All buttons and pendants are made one at a time and none are exactly the same. Necklace is fitted on a 14″ link chain or hemp cord. The birch bark may unravel over time, but this does not harm the design and adds to the character. It’s available on brass chain or shimmery wire-wrapped hemp, both with lobster clasps.

Kahahuna also sells this necklace for only $20.00.

Sharkattoque!

It is Shark Week on Discovery Channel and that can only mean one thing, people who normally aren’t even interested in marine biology are going to be glued to the Discovery Channel to watch the MythBusters attempt to blow up a Jaws style great white muppet, crazy people “testing” shark cages, and just about any other dramatic thing Discovery can come up with involving sharks. In honor of one of the most popular weeks in educational television, here is Sharkattoque by SmakJamCreations on etsy. Not only is this awesome knitted hat really cool to look at, but it’s creator acutually found an amusing way to use to antiquated term “toque” (it basically means beanie), and the word nerd in me is ecstatic about that.
