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.

Hawaiian Pint dress
I found this Hawaiian print dress at the thrift store. I think I thought I would re-make it into something else. It is size 14 so I thought that would be plenty of fabric to re-work things and create
something completely new. The cotton fabric is vintage, the flowers are huge, and the colors are so vibrant I could not leave it at the thrift store. I get home and try the dress on. To my dismay it fits.
Drat........ok I am a size 14 now. Anyhow, after I finished the Bahati piece, I decided to use the dress
to fit on the mannequin. This way I can show my customers how to wear my stunning natural jewelry with prints. OMG! To my delight it looks better than I could have imagined. Most women pick one color when selecting accessories to wear with prints. With Bamboo, the New Neutral jewelry choice, all the guess work has been taken out of wearing jewelry with prints. I have recreated this shape before but the individual character in this particular bamboo is quite unique. Every piece of bamboo is different. This Bamboo was grown in North Carolina. Thank you for looking. Yo

Going to Asheville this weekend and some lucky lady will purchase this set to add to her collection. Can't wait to see who she will be.

Thank You
Thank you to all of my customers who support the work that I do. I love working with my hands. I love seeing what will become of my imagination. I also thoroughly enjoy meeting the people who find that special piece that speaks to them and they can't leave it on the counter. It is rewarding for me to sell time and time again to my repeat customers. The ones who seek me out and find what they were looking for. Something new to add to their collection. Another finely crafted accessory that goes beyond description. "Yes, it's made with bamboo!" That natural earthy piece you can mix and match with your favorite color. You intertwine the bamboo piece seamlessly with your signature style. Everyone can't pull it off. You gotta have some flavor to begin with.
One of my great inspirations is a jewelry designer from Brazil. She creates jewelry with natural materials and has affiliations in the green design world. Her name is Patricia Moura. I first learned of her on youtube. I commented how much I loved her work and we actually corresponded via e-mail with the help of Google Translator. The internet is helping to show us just how small the world really is. I wish her all the success and hope I can elevate my line in the same ways she has done with hers. Yo
