Rainbow Blast-off






Bronze Cones


Long, elegant, colorful yet simple design.   
 The pair above is very African inspired and has monkstone, amber, and turquoise blue glass beads.  The pair below is with teal blue acai beads an monkstone beads.


 The pair above have black and red seeds.  Below is the bead inspiration: a real huichol indian bracelet and a blue beaded purse. 




Some Beanies!

 Above at left: a favorite design of mine I call San Clemente, with brown wool\acrylic blend, multi-colored wool, and a beige stripe at the bottom.  Center is grey alpaca from Peru; it has some faint red highlights to it and is very soft.  Right is also a softy; the mustard-colored stripes are also Peruvian alpaca. 
 Above is a light, spacious beanie with room for some hair and an open knit for good air flow. 
Below is a beanie made with some of my favorite wool- noro wool from Japan.  It is always exciting to watch the colors of the yarn change before my eyes as I work; each ball produces a completely unique hat.  The colors here would be dark red, brown, beige, yellow, pink and blue. 
 Below is another natural fibers beanie, made with some new yarn I discovered from Lion's Brand; it is 100% organic cotton. This hat also has an open weave.  The cotton has a nice weight to it and is extra soft.   Also available in dread sizes and in light green.
