I am a passionate gardener
(flowering plants and shrubs,
pleasing combinations of form and texture),
and I make simple jewelry out of interesting minerals.
I buy and string unusual pearls,
often over and over,
exploring unusual and interesting combinations.
My beloved dog Lily, in her prime. Although a "rescue," my husband called her "La Princessa," which she accepted as her due.
I particularly love pearls, not so much the round and white, although good ones are lovely. I like unusual pearls and have many in classical and unusual arrangements. I typically break up strands I buy and rearrange them, add more, or combine them with other pieces or stones. The colors on this long unfinished necklace are hard to capture.
