A mindful jewelry collection that embraces repurposed and sustainable materials.
Each piece is an original work of art. Many works take several hours to create.
My unique method of hand-stitched embroidery is inspired by ancient, openwork / whitework stitching which was first seen in 12th century. Drawn thread, the root of the whitework style, was first seen during the Egyptian period. The technique moved across Arabia including North Africa to the Mediterranean with popularity concentrating in 11th and 12th centuries. Italy, England, Germany, Sweden and Scotland embraced this form. Some say the height of its expression was in the 16th century. My great grandmother and grandmother practiced drawn thread.
I use 100% cotton embroidery floss, metallic embroidery thread, sterling silver-plated necklace chains and miniature embroidery hoops. I sometimes combine stitching with limited edition, museum-grade, repurposed giclées of my original art. Paintings featured so far are Be Water, Lush and Spring Force. Some designs may include materials drawn from past initiatives, including Make Safe Brigade.
Earrings are lightweight. Jewelry comes with a stunning wood and natural jute box.
