Bandit Charm
In Collaboration with Blamo
Bandit is Rice Baby's second cousin once removed. Bandit specializes in the acquisition of stuff from others. A repo monkey of sorts, but with a focus on the unwanted. Bandit steals away worries and sorrows for free!
This uniquely sized charm can be wrapped around the wrist or simply held & carried thru life as a reminder to smile because you have a character with you right here, now.

A Note about the Blamo Journey, from Alexa.
These magical little brass creatures lived on the cliff edge of the Indian Ocean, with me, for almost a year! The neighborhood monkeys even paid us a visit in those first days, spotting some shiny objects in the window & attempting to steal them! Luckily, in precisely the perfect moment, I arrived home to chase the rowdy lot off the balcony with enough of a startle to drop the bag of treasured creatures, mid stride.
(true story)
Our bond was fortified in that moment & it became my duty to protect them from those real, living breathing monkeys & eventually create something epic out of our time together. Other than some monkey madness, we existed together simply ~ amongst the crystals, in the salty air with an ocean view & a lot of love. They communicated with me sporadically thru visions & dreams & It took a while to really see how they would like to collaborate but eventually, art did what art does - EMERGE!
Each creature came to reveal it’s own unique personality, reflected in the final crystal choices & arrangement of stones.
I absolutely LOVED this project !
