Ok, now keep in mind this is an all new adventure for me and I want to share with you my first trial and possibly error...but you never know till ya try and I am the kinda person that never takes a lesson, I always have to forge ahead on my own, correcting along the way. But I like the idea of using hand-made items, usually by indigenous peoples, it just seems right to me, it's just too bad they only get pennies to the dollar...hey, don't get me started on the value of the American dollar...someday I may be that tribeswoman sitting by the river makin' beads...the lost civilization of America. Scary huh...but, would it really be all that bad...think of what a great tan I'd have. These little earrings I call 'yellow bird', made of yellow turquoise from China, the blue clay beads are from Indonesia and the tiny beads, Mali, wrapped in aged copper, I love that lived in look.
Little yellow bird
flights of fancy you long for
freedom yet unseen.
I'm not very good at wrapping the wire yet, but that will come in time, as I piece each bead to the story I wish to convey and as I discover new source for beads, you will follow my trail. I have recycled sea glass coming from Africa, what a tale I will weave of these exotic(in my mind) jewels.
Simple, recycled, primitive...isn't that the way it's always been...through time...
