"For everything there is a season. I should like to think I am part of it. Whether the season's of earth or age, there are pieces of humanity and nature that are left behind that leave their imprint on me. How much in my life I hold to treasures that hold some great meaning and form of memory!
These tokens are part of a story that came from someone's time, mine or those past and are left to treasure or disregard.
So many things are left broken; disregarded and rusted, worn, cracked and fragmented and have little use but to appreciate and redeem!
How much of what is made has its compliments in nature; these microuniverses with patterns and structure weave into our rhythms, our replications and creations as we as artists continue to appreciate all things beautiful.
Pulling these elements of creation, natural or made, unused or dead things that have had their time. I delight to reconstruct and remake afresh.
All the jewelry I make is from found things that are hunted and brought back for the purpose of renewing and appreciating those things old or new or natural into a unique piece that embodies character and loveliness."

Birdcages as hanging planters.
A space where anything can happen.
Objects and plants come together
in unexpected ways....
New Tillansia'a (Airplants) in the shop!
These plants are by far the most fun and versital to play with in the home!
They do not need soil, they take in water through their leaves.
You can place them on the window sill,
stick them in a beautiful shell,
or hang them from branches.
Soak them fully submerged in water for an hour
once every two weeks in the winter
and once a week in the summer.
.........and they flower!
