It has been a while since I have been around but I have finally finished a new pieceI Yes, just one, but I have two more in the works and this one is very beautiful with a unique backstory. I am calling this piece the Time Traveler Necklace and it is available now in my online shop.
The Turquoise center stone was cut by my Father in the early 70’s from rough material that was purchased by my Grandparent’s. We don’t know what mine it is from. I wire wrapped the chain using vintage trade beads: White Hearts, Chevrons, clear African Glass as well as fine shell heishi and gemmy Spinel and Tourmaline.
I took countless hours laying out beads to configure the beautiful layout that came to be. Along the way I went on a journey with the trade beads. I wondered where they had traveled through their long lives. Whose hands had they passed through. With the Turquoise, I wondered what my Dad was thinking while he was cutting that stone. Oh so many things...
