Jurors’ Comments:
Ryan Huna Smith: I like the piece overall. The figure inside; the anatomy. I didn’t realize until a closer look that there was a figure in the center of it. It’s kind of different, kind of unique. Nice weight to it, just nice quality work overall.
White Swann: I chose the dragonfly bracelet because of its uniqueness.
Gerald Dawavendewa: I think this is a great piece because it goes beyond just being an item you can wear; it’s an art piece. It’s a bracelet without being a bracelet. It’s got that innovation that makes it stand out.
