I am so excited to preview the new OHM Beads Australia EXCLUSIVE bead, CRIKEY. This wonderfully oxidized and detailed crocodile is such a fun addition to the OHM 'down under' collection. Inspired by that famous Australian exclamation made popular by the Aussie wildlife expert Steve Irwin, CRIKEY is a fantastic name for this beguiling croc.
With his weathered skin and very sharp teeth I think CRIKEY is a perfect version of its real life counterpart. Since this is OHM, we also have a crocodile hunter style hat (complete with a band of souvenir teeth), a boomerang, and that incredibly sly grin. My favourite part is the expression conveyed by those eyes - they seem to be looking right at you!
I admire OHM artists and wax carvers for their phenomenal talent and ability to create a personality through small details. Nothing is overlooked!!! CRIKEY is full of texture and character and he is a wonderfully stylish bead to add to my bracelet designs. I adore him!
CRIKEY will be available JUNE 4th from OHM Beads and OHM in Australia (US$55/AU $77)
