Earrings
--
I think by now I must have made over 1000 pairs of earrings, almost
all one of a kind. (There are a few classic styles that I will remake,
but I never have more than one of an item on hand at a time.) This page offers a glimpse of the variety of shapes, colors and imagery that infuse my work. There are many more examples on the columns, lentils, calla lily, bougainvillea, flowers, and feathers pages, and on the pearls, amethysts, polymer clay, and
worked metal pages.
