this is a triple pendant i made for a customer in new york. alisa gave me a few pieces of ancient glass to use in a necklace for her. the two stones on the left of the glass pieces from her and the stone on the right is a piece of found plastic.
this is a recipe from my best friend trisha…
Naked Fig Newtons
2 1/2 c groudnd pecans
2 c figs (stems removed)
2 t vanilla extract
1/4 c water
1 c coconut
In a food processor combine pecans, figs, and vanilla. Pulse until chopped and then add water slowly until you have a mixture with a texture able to form into balls. By the spoonful, roll out balls and flatten in hand then dip both sides into coconut. Keep in sealed container in fridge up to 1 week …if they last that long!
