Some of us may know us from the Skeleton Crew Pirate Band. Thanks to a cannonball in our captain's (Mallory) back and the sinking of our treasure (we were swindled out of our house of almost 30 years and are about to walk the stairs into the abess), we are not performing live lately and at the rate we are going it will be at least a year. Arrragh! So for the time being we are CRAFTY OL' PIRATES makin' up wonders for ye to be sportin' on our off your craft.
"These be Pirate Made for the Pirate Trade." We make body adornments such as neckpieces, belt dangles, sinnet work and even cat tantalizers to please the pirate or the pirate at heart.
All are hand-made by Mac the Wife (that's me) with some beads made by the Captain (that's the Captain). We search all over for the likes of bone skulls, art-glass beads, mariner's cord and anything else we can fit around a neck.
But, although one piece is titled "No Noose is Good Noose," we are making what landlubbers would call jewelery--nothing bigger.After playing outside the El Capitian Theatre for the opening of POTCIII, we decided we wanted some of the garb the actors were sporting. But we decided to do it on a small scale with neckpieces being the main goal.
We started doing it for ourselves and then others wanted them, too. Thus, with about 400 pieces completed, all hand-made, we find ourselves in business. These pieces feature monkey's fists knots as the crown jewels, and all have a primitive, nautical, piratical feel about them.
You can see the collection (and buy, if you wish) and read the wry descriptions of many of the pieces by linking on www.MalloryandMcCall.com/PiratePrimitive .
Hope you enjoy what you find!
Cheers,
Mac the Wife (Janna McCall)
PS. I am rushing to get this all on line, so forgive typos and the like!
Oh! I forgot to mention that there is an almost private showing of some of our pieces under "View our Pics" which is under our logo at the top left! It's called, originally, PiRATE PRiMiTiVE Sampler. Anybody got a better name?
Meet "Hello Dali" aka "Marlings' Spike" which, has nothing to do with Dali, but a bit of surreal luck revealed this photo when Mac combined a shell, a eyeball candle and neckpiece N155. Silly, but it gives us a giggle. Hopefully some of the explanations of the pieces on the site will give you giggles, too!
