Transforming my love for the earth into small pieces of art I am on a journey creating beads and pendants as I go. As earth-tone glazes, rich in organic hues, enhance and highlight the individual clay forms my most important message is to celebrate the fact that these beads and pendants are made of clay - tiny bits of the land we walk and live on. I always leave a bit of clay showing to remind us of the small pieces of earth that we are holding and wearing. The unique colors and shapes of these bead and pendants beg to be made into beautiful, distinctive, wearable art.
