New work...Inspired by A Ribbon in the Sky.


As always I am inspired by music...Stevie Wonder comes
to mind...so I depicted hard metal such as nickel silver to
resemble a ribbon in the sky...blowing in the wind.
Below is one of the earrings from the upcoming
collection..which will only be sold at my
debut at the outdoor Brooklyn Flea, April 10, 2010.
Mark your calenders ladies and gents!
