Beadcraft Bells: $3.00

[Steve Paxton]

I ran into this gentleman while in downtown Seattle Christmas shopping with my wife yesterday. It takes Dave two hours to handcraft each bell. He makes the bells with tiny beads and fishing wire. Dave said it makes the bells because "it keeps me out of trouble." I gave Dave $5.00 for the red bell on the end - which is now hanging on my Christmas tree. :)

I snapped this image with my cell phone.

Great photo and story, Steve. I like to hear the story behind these pictures that you take. And I'm impressed that you took that photo with your phone.

Those are neat bells! You should take a closeup of the bell on your tree.

Great shot Steve. I think I need to start hanging out in more urban areas, you seem to find the most interesting characters.
