Just got some cool bracelets from a site called fahlo. You buy a bracelet with an animal bead (bunch of colors to choose from), and part of the money is donated to a conservation organization. So, a lion bracelet helps Ewaso Lions, polar bear helps Polar Bears International, sharks help Saving the Blue, etc.
But you also get a card with the name of an animal. It has a picture, little blurb about them, and a QR code you can scan that allows you to see where they have traveled.
Here are the bracelets I got.
They stretch, but I might restring them and use a clasp, just to get a little more play on them. I'm not a fan of snug bracelets (YMMV). I got sea turtle (female loggerhead named Dobby), shark (female Great Hammerhead named Eddie), lion (male named Loeku), and a polar bear (female named Gussy).
Loeku hangs out in Kenya, in the Eastern Rift Valley. Gussy is weaning a cub out on the sea ice of the Hudson. And Eddie and Dobby are both cruising The Bahamas.

SO I HEARD A RUMOR that we were robbed of a Ball episode of HH and I am ROARING with fury.
So, that sparked the need to draw a dance scene, which was inspired by A Song (seriously listen to this), and fueled by an IV drip of Electro Swing straight into my veins the entire time I was painting.
I *realllllyyy* need to see a dressed up Charlie next season or I am going to CRY. Also, Vaggie in a tux, eh??? EHHH??
As an aside, reconciling this dance pose with the height difference of these two was... a challenge.
It was a chill and relax Monday 🥶&😌 #mrgusandfriends #gussy #mondayvibes #poodlesofinstagram #lovemydog (at Hayward, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChB4eBMuv41/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
