Sterling Bells

One of our adventures while on Lopez, led by a fellow beader who had met this amazing man many years ago, was visiting the gardens and workshop of Gordon Barnett.  After driving down wooded, winding island roads, and walking through his magical garden, we arrived at his workshop (by appointment only).  His sterling silver or bronze bell pendants (and earrings) are absolutely delightful.  The crystal tinkling of bells (since you pick out your bell by both its shape and distinctive ring) still resounds in my ears.  He is truly an outstanding artist and humble soul.
