Hammer your own jewelry

I know that I love great statement jewelry and I also know I adore it even more when it has a unique background. Teresa Basa of Teresa Basa Designs will be showcasing some of her exceptional pieces made from a technique called horse weaving at Austin Fashion Week. The process originated in Chile and was nearly extinct before the Chilean government came in to protect the few families that still held this tradition dear. Teresa Basa Designs offers these colorful spheres of horse hair in earrings, necklaces, bracelets and more! How fantastic! You can wear a small piece of Chilean tradition right around your neck. With 100+ showcasings going on at Austin Fashion Week 2011, make sure to mark down Thursday, August 25th from 5:00-9:00 p.m. where Teresa will be teaming up with The Wondercraft to help fashion lovers hammer out their own metal jewelry. Get Hammered is sure to be an interesting process, enhanced by the joy of being creative and fabulous accessories!
