wearable art

I listed lots of new things at rocksandpaperswans.etsy.com. I think this is my favorite:

There is a pendant of ancient Roman glass and a Mykonos Greek casting dove,
and turquoise heishi, clay, polymer clay, recycled glass, little casting spacers, glass and lots of 20-30 year old clam shell discs. And it's light weight.

Volcano Rising

After I finished illustrating VOLCANO RISING I decided to explore volcano rock in my jewelry; these beads have been waxed and are smooth to the touch and not any heavier (because of all the air bubbles) than other gemstones of equal size, the texture is a wonderful contrast to the shiny faceted glass used as spacers and these translucent amethyst nuggets look amazing at the center of this 19" long necklace - adjustable with chain and lobster clasp.
