Macrame with brass hexnuts

Brass nuts make this macrame bracelet into a beautiful, industrial fashion statement

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Doubles as a handy emergency knuckleduster.

I was leafing through a Maxim or something at the doctors office last month and there was an article on bracelets for men, and one of the designer ones used brass nuts and hemp or leather like this. It was north of a $100.

  They don’t really want to sell them, it’s just the Brass Nuts Lobby trying to goad people into making them themselves with their product. The BNL is known for being pretty brazen.

If a police officer and the DA’s office were so inclined… merely possessing those could net you a felony charge and conviction in California.

How long til the string turns green from the brass oxidizing? Definitely not shower friendly.
