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.

Spotted
Yesterday I take my daughter her lunch because we didn't have time to make it before we left for school. Ok, sitting in the office waiting on her class to pass by and I can give her the grilled cheese, tater tots, mozzarella cheese stix, and a fountain drink. Sitting, sitting, sitting. Waiting, waiting, waiting. The lady who works in the office begins to tell me that she wants a necklace and earrings set, a gift for her co-worker. "You see," she continues, "We exchanged names and I wanted to get her something." I am following her but can't understand why she is asking me this because, "Do I know you?" my mind is questioning. Oh better question, "Do you know me?" Finally she explains that she saw me at the festival. Then she asks, "Oh, aren't you the one who sells the jewelry?" This response must have come from seeing the bewildered look on my face. Probably should have made this query at the get go. Any who, I meet another lady in the hall and we start talking and I made another connection. It is amazing how your reputation or shall we say occupation will follow you. No one has ever called me out like that. And I was just getting used to seeing people wearing my earrings. They are so unmistakable, even the kids will point them out and say, "Mommy she is wearing your earrings!" Must admit it is kinda fly to be noticed. Even more fly to be sought after. One day a lady came to my tent downtown and said, "I came down here specifically for you. I have $??$'s, what can I get? I don't know where this thing is going but it seems to be moving in a positive direction. Love to my hommies, peace to the people, rock on with ya bad self, bamboo jewelry. <3
