Happy Feather Memories!

Here is my new feather earring collection made with feathers and seeds I gathered in Central America.

Seeds from Corn Islands, Granada and feathers from the parrot and rooster from the farm in Bluefields.

These Days

Take Over!  Sometimes I just have to take over my favorite stuff for myself.  Like these butterflies!

Sugar and Cream cotton yarn.

White Coral

I have always loved white coral.  I found this on Little Corn Island and made myself this necklace.  The red necklace people often mistake for red coral but it is plastic.  White and red are my favorite power colors.  And I can't believe how often unicorns are showing up lately! 

Nice ladies I met in Pearl Lagoon.  White coral earrings and she got the big pink flower!  Salamander hat!  Give Thanks.

Nica Family

Here is the family I stayed with at a farm outside Bluefields, Nicaragua.  Samuel, Mirtha and Mariza with the oil pastel on wood board I did of their beloved pet parrot, Lucy.

Lucy and I in the garden

I love what Mariza did with the toys.  They couldn't believe these were things I found on the beach as refuse.

I really never met such loving, good, hardworking children.

Beaded Beauties

The Ever-Evolving Rack

My Butterflies

Don't know where these came from...the depths of my consciousness.

Sweet Lilac Fades

Sweet Reds with green and purple

A friend thought of Clown Fish when she saw these.  A Dutch girl liked them because she said they were her country's color- orange.

My Artesano Friends, Little Corn Island

This is Jitka, from the Czech Republic, modeling a headband I made.  It has a huge hot-pink flower on it.  I picked up this style of flower on Big Corn Island from a woman who was even crazier about crochette than me!!  Her name was Gaynelle and I never have seen a house so completely cozied out in crochette.

This is Esmeralda, from Greece.

These are Esmeralda´s amazing bracelets

My dearest friends, Laetitia, of France, and Felipe, of Spain.  I miss them so much!
