the new conjoined paddle earrings have tiny sewn seed beads growing out of the metal cross sections. pictured here is a newly finished pair in plum. the beads remind me of little colonies of algea, bacteria or sea anenome that flourish and grow on a host....
these intersecting paddle earrings are in progress. they will have some sewn beads or textile detail utilizing the holes once they are finished. i am experimenting with some ideas.....i'll posted the finished result soon.

here is a new necklace i made for my friend susan who is going to compete in the national asana yoga championship in l.a. this weekend. susan was the texas women's champion in 2008 and 2009. she teaches bikram yoga classes here in austin at yogagroove if you would like to take her class. susan was one of my very first teachers and she's one of the nicest, most caring people you would ever wanna meet AND her classes are awesome.
