I make jewelry with bamboo that I cut down, shape, sand and form into earrings and necklaces. I can color it or leave it natural. Each piece is unique and dictates to me what it will become. Because bamboo is sustainable, I think it should be used in more aspects of our everyday lives. So Banish the bling and choose to support green design.

Oval maddening Binge
Madd about the classic oval. A very popular shape that resonates with many of my customers. The bamboo is naturally round and hollow on the inside. Cutting it on an angle produces a great shape every time. Sometimes I have trouble getting the thickness the same. Fortunately a great piece of bamboo is forgiving and I can generally shape them up nicely when they go to the sanding stage. Making the correct selections and sizing the pieces all up require some finesse. I am a perfectionist and I want all of the earrings to appear uniform and professional. Hopefully if you have purchased a pair of my earrings you feel that you received a good deal and a work of art. Take a look at what has come out of the shop.Yo!
