"DOG WATCH"
It's dog watch--a short watch usually just begging for you to hit the hammock as soon as it is over. But being the hot-blooded sea rover you are, you'd rather settle down on deck and see what you can make with scraps of cords and some beads you picked up at the last port. So you gather up some waxed cotton and some tarred cord and begin to knot and braid. The finished handcraft is a simple neckpiece 26" around with a 7" drop including a fist, beads and tarred cord tassel. The wooden beads have various red decorations and the glass beads are mostly black and blue.
Now, if you're headed for the sack instead of making jewelry from found materials, you can buy something much like you might have made. Recreating the spirit of the golden age of piracy, is N63. You can alway say you made it! And it's on sale for only $19.00. Let Mac do the work!
