Living by the ocean and finding salt, sand and seaweed on everything makes me feel like a sea creature or a sailor or a mermaid. I love the things the ocean washes in, and they way she wears them down. I dream of pearls, of icy treasure chests overgrown with coral, dolphin ghosts, and underwater string music. I've been collecting victorian hardware, broken crystal chandelier drops, pearls, and moonstone beads for a few months. I've made some earrings, necklaces and belts fit for everyday royalty! I make things to be worn to the most extravagant occasions of my dreams, and then end up wearing them out for tacos, picnics, and work! For those who love graceful retro, poetic exageration, and surprising proportions: you might like some of these creations! Here are a few pictures from my "land legs" series. For mermaids who go out to dinner and sailors who climb trees from time to time...
