for Goddesses only

-

This is apparently my favorite palette right now..gray blue/green. It must be since they keep showing up in my work. Sea inspired? Winter? Maybe. It's a lovely neutral and goes with a surprising number of colors.. Reds, oranges as well as pinks..and of course earthy greens and taupes.
The clasp was fabricated from a sheet of sterling silver to give recognition to the Goddesses of this world. I created it using a small peridot as the head [arms clasped overhead] as well as one of my own ground flame worked cabochons at the belly. Airy curves and golden flower accents. 
Each glass bead has been created in the flame of my torch..organic raised petals and leaves..some glitzed up beads using a bit of dichroic glass. One slate-y piece of Canadian Labradorite. Accompanied with a chunky length of sterling links just for some layered jangle. 

 It is absolutely unique, and will be worn by women looking for substantial, artist styled, statement jewelry. Named 'Dryad'

My beautiful mother who we lost in July 2023. My older sister and I. We've been lucky to bring back precious [to me] earth stones from many parts of  the world.   Lake Tiberias in Israel, Persian Gulf area, Dingle, Ireland, Isle of Sky area,  Edinburgh,  and Inverness areas in Scotland, a walk back to our hotel in  Strasbourg,  France.  The Levent Valley near Malatya, Turkey sometimes referred to as the Grand  Canyons of the Anatolia. The stone in my palm almost always brings back the day.  My regret is that I didn't label the stones in some way. Regardless, all have been
