Thank you for having an interest in showing my work! As for a favorite piece....well, I have a hard time choosing a favorite, but if I must, at the moment it would be my "Lotus Bead Necklace". I already had the teal glass pearls and teal/grey firepolished beads, when I came across the silver lotus beads. I just knew that they would all work together. The glass pearls and firepolished beads are Czech, the silver lotus beads are Karen Hill Tribe and the clasp is Bali silver. I enjoy working with Karen Hill Tribe silver - I love their work and I like combining their beautiful, sometimes delicate, sometimes rough pieces with glass and crystal. I've been making jewelry for over 20 years now (holy cow) and I'm self-taught. I'm especially drawn to butterflies, dragonflies, lady bugs, birds, and I like to incorporate them in my jewelry. But, I also love vintage pieces, whether they be buttons, which I love to work with, or beads or pendants. I also do wire work (aside from my ear wires), and I am slowing adding these pieces to my site. So, I get my inspiration from a lot of different sources. |
