REVIEW: Reprinted from the Fort Myers News Press...
Redefining our definition of (what is) jewelry, Fort Myers Beach residents Susan Theisen and Mary Ellen Wood create earrings out of fishing lures.
"The long ones, my favorite, are called 'Willows.' Mary Ellen's are the tomahawk and banjo shapes. I also favor the baitfish." Susan wrote in an email, asking if Tropicalia readers would like 'Allurings.' At our front door a few days later, we found a bag containing more than a dozen tiny parcels of glitz -- 13 pairs of "Allurings" earrings. As we took them apart to admire and photograph them, they shined, glistened and enticed. Those poor fish never have a chance, once they see these sparklers, we thought.
