 Each piece of jewelry is handmade and designed to be unique, never to be recreated exactly the same way again.  My jewelry collection is truly inspired by nature.  The mediums which I have used include natural productsgourds, clay, and wood.  Most of the beads that hold the pendants evolve from nature as well.
 
In this collection, various gourd shard pieces were either designed by cutting the gourd in to specific shapes or stomping on large pieces of a gourd and the way they broke apart inspired my designs.  Some of the creations are pyroengraved then accented with oils, dyes, inks,
and/or acrylic paints. Some pieces are colored with dyes, inks, oil paints and acrylics and embellished with semi precious stones or wire wrapped.  Sizes vary from 1 1/2" high to 3" in diameter.

Each pendant is backed with leather. 
 
The necklace chains may be made from handmade clay, glass, wooden, or semi precious stones.
