This fall photographer Pamela Wessel and I will be releasing two gift books with guided reflection about the treasures and commemorative effects in your own jewelry box. Inspired by our search to return the lost 33 Bit bracelet to its owner, we hope you will chronicle your precious effects. Proceeds will benefit both UNICEF and Doctors Without Borders.
Pendants designed by Rick Vincent are available at Claim33Bits.com. Worn as large charms or on chains with keys, these pendants are a celebration of the precious effects of our lives. Manufactured in the USA! (In San Antonio’s Goldmasters shop to be exact.)

See Claudia, talking about the new Pearl development, wearing her 33 Bits t-shirts. Gotta love it!
I really detest SPAM. You folks who share my sensitive heart would be as shocked as I with the content of the SPAM coming into the 33 Bits Blog. We had 598 various posts unrelated to our worthy project. Perhaps some people are so lonely they welcome this sort of attention. We, quite frankly, do NOT.
The 33 Bits project is now on the Riverwalk. You can purchase the hardback, paperback, or our new book, A Jewelry Journal while enjoying the Pearl section of the Riverwalk. Come on down July 22nd to meet Designer and Photographer, Pamela Wessel and me as we sign books from 5-7pm. Welcome to The Twig Book Shop!
I was pleased to meet former SNL’s Dan Aykroyd this week and give him both the book and a personal invitation to join our project. While it may be a long shot, people are genuinely curious about this effort. I have high hopes Mr. Aykroyd will come through and help somehow. Congratulations offered for the launch of Dan’s Crystal Head from all the folks on the 33 Bits team!
Our thanks to Jason Hooper of JJH designs in Austin for supplying our next drop spot for book donations to England. Jason, also from England, was one of the juried artists featured at the Fiesta Art Show in San Antonio Texas. Check out his work at www.jjhooper.com (I bought two of his wonderful selections!)
As you wonder how to divide the proceeds of your tax refund this year, please consider supporting our search through book donations, or by contributing to the efforts of UNICEF.
I just spoke to a wonderful volunteer from UNICEF trying to solidify more funds for their many international efforts. While I wish those of us involved in the 33 Bits project could send regular amounts, I am sure you all appreciate that like donations, our sales change month to month. We appreciate whatever we can do to help them. Can you also? And by the way, if you hear of anyone looking for their lost charm bracelet, would you please send them our way?
I understand how slim the odds are of finding the owner. Nevertheless, so many people believe I can find her. It’s so encouraging when I hear people say they will spread the word about our project. I love even more when people ask, “How can I help?” We continue to send books into England and aspire to get better publicity in that region.
