What was your inspiration?

You ever get new materials and then have to wait until you have time to play? And then MORE new materials come in, and you still can't get to them... and it builds up until you end up combining them all at once into some crazy conglomerate project?

Well, that's how these pendants came into being! Teaspoons, copper wire and beautifully dyed ocean sediment jasper were piling up in my studio while I got married. Well, the honeymoon is over and today I attacked every material I had and shoved them all into a single design.

What are you most proud of?

I LOVE the shape of these!! I also like that I was able to do something with spoons that hasn't necessarily been done before.
