Narrow Link Wild Heart Bracelets
"These are not your usual sentimental hearts, they are hearts with an edge."
The sections below contain heart bracelets with Tattoo Designs, Native American Designs,
Graffiti designs, Petroglyph (rock art) designs and Flower designs.
Cuff and Hinged Bracelets
The tensile strength of lead free pewter is slightly less than that of silver. Like all
cuff bracelets, care has to be taken in fitting them to the wrist:
putting them on and taking them off.
Extra Large Cuff Bracelets
These bracelets are at least 2 1/2 inches wide. The concho cuff bracelet
at the bottom right is 3 inches wide.
Frida Kahlo
These designs are adaptations from Frida Kahlo paintings. Frida was
a noteworthy Mexican artist (July 6, 1907 – July 13, 1954). Because of
a serious injury suffered by a trolley car, she spent much of her adult life
in bed, gazing at a mirror on the ceiling. She paintied many self-portraits from the mirror.
These images often included elements from her large home and indoor gardens --including
the monkeys in her indoor garden, depicted in several of the bracelets. She is a strong feminist figure.
Dia de los Muertos)
Katrina is a typical Day of the Dead Image. Katrina is a floozy, dressed with a
plume,
hat and fancy clothes. She is the leader of the parade. These images are
adapted from the famous drawings by Posada, who popularized the Day of the Deat
in Mexico in the early 20th century.

to the remoteness of their villages. These images are sold in large and medium easels, with a stand on back, they are sold as ornaments with a hanging cords. Many images are included in the Saints' bracelets.

Double and Single Pewter Earrings

with clips as a substitute.
Alice Warder Seely's mixed Indian, Spanish, and Anglo heritage reflects the rich cultural diversity of New Mexico. Seely is the step daughter of Navajo artist Ha-So-De (Narciso Abeyta), "The Gaugin of American Indian Art". Her maternal grandmothers, Eleanor Brownell and Alice Howland, came to Santa Fe from Philadelphia in the 1930's. Seely's paternal grandparents were from the small Spanish village of Guadalupita in Northern New Mexico and were descendents of San Juan and Comanche Indians. Her great grandfather is pictured in the original Pony Express poster. Seely's half brother and sisters, are recognized Navajo artists. Alice's biological father, William Warder, was a New Mexico muralist and landscape painter.
Because of Alice's Native American heritage and her having grown up with a Navajo step-father, Alice is familiar with Native American Designs. She is not a registered Native American and her jewelry and textiles are her own adaptations and designs. Many designs are contemporary and are not influenced by southwest images.
