Mom's Jewelry

Here are some necklaces that I made awhile ago for my mom.  The one above is made with shells from Vieques, PR and acai seeds and coconut from Brazil, on hemp.  The one below is made with shells that I found in Mulege, Baja California, and beads from Lake Atitlan, Guatemala.

High Tide at Paine's Creek

This is one of my favorite beaches on Cape Cod.  Isn't it beautiful?  The tide is rushing into the marsh.

It is so lovely here even in the freezing wintertime.  I am so thankful to have grown up here.  The Cape inspires many artists, like my dear friend Taylor Armour, who makes handmade organic clothing.  We used to take Fiber Art classes together at Cape Cod Community College.    Today I visited her eco-boutique/design studio.  It is called Fisherman's Daughter and it is behind the Post Office in Chatham.  Her website is: http://www.fishermansdaughtermarket.com/

Happy New Year from Hats and Friends!

Party Time!  Isha and I made these cool New Year's hats together at a party.  I love making all kinds of hats!!



Those are antique beanie babies in the background!  In the foreground, we have a blue and peach hat that is in the same style as my usual blue and hot pink hat.  I like the peach even better.  The other is also a new color combination in a classic style. Usually I make this hat in beige with orange, yellow, and green flowers.  Now it is available in turquoise, with orange, blue, and light blue flowers!

Visit with Mom in CT

This is my mom, Tyger, by the Christmas tree.  She is wearing a wool hat that I made with the brim turned to the side. If you zoom in on the picture you can see an ornament that is a picture of me in third grade!

Here I am wearing knitted brown legwarmers.  I made these for my mom a long time ago and I am glad she let me borrow them while I am here.  Now I know why everyone keeps asking for me to make them legwarmers!!

Great New Earrings

I love this pair so much!  Combining feathers with chain is very popular right now and I wish that I had more pairs like these. 

This pair is so long!

This pair is in one of my classic styles, attatching beads to a chain for a flowing effect.  Here I have attatched pieces of light-colored young coconut shell.
