Life Behind Bars
While you and I sit here, contemplating the vagaries of fate, another upscale bar has opened in Belltown. This is not unusual: Such bars appear in Belltown at the rate of one every six seconds. By the time you've finished reading this piece, every last scrap of real estate in Belltown will have converted itself to an upscale bar. The fish-throwers will toss their wares into martini glasses and douse them with gin; the upscale boutiques will ask you if you'd like to accessorize that new gown with a necklace of olives, on the house.

Jon and Tracy Holland marry post industrial scraps and imaginative design to create one-of-a-kind handbags. The artistic local couple aims to create wearable art, and they've done it, just as the name Chemical Wedding suggests. Jon Holland explains that the line Chemical Wedding is based on the alchemist theory of transmutation of form. "Like lead into gold, we use and rearrange manufacturer's castoffs and turn them into handbags."
