Christie Abbott’s “Skinny Salmon” necklaces hang on display at the Central Peninsula Hospital Auxiliary Bazaar on Thursday, Nov. 3, 2016 in Soldotna, Alaska. Abbott makes the jewelry out of real salmon skin that she treats, colors and sets into the necklaces, earrings, rings and bracelets herself. The skin comes from salmon she and her husband catch — depending on how the season goes, it’s mostly either sockeye or coho salmon, she said. The necklaces are also regularly for sale at Trustworthy Hardware and Fishing in Soldotna. The bazaar continues Friday, Nov. 4, 2016 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
