The Merry Butterfly Dagger

June 17, 2011 by

This necklace is from the Honoring Remains Series I’ve been working on.  It’s built of sterling, 22 karat gold, iolite and a section of Idaho mule deer antler.  It’s wickedly lovely, gently brave, naturally extraordinary…….and every other nice juxtaposition you can think of.

    Goose bumps!
    My jaw has dropped over and over and over again while gazing at your work.
    The thing that is so impressive is how you continue to infuse your *true heart* into your creative work.
    I feel this kind of humming within me when I look at this. It's just AMAZING!
    Go Girl !!!
    Once again… you're in the zone. xoxo

    bliss – this is so heart-wrenchingly magical! i would to have that fluttering around my neck!
    i especially love those speckled eggs shell you've been styling the past couple of jewelry pieces with – what kind of chooks have you got there?! they must be trul happy chooks if their eggs are covered in polka dots!
    much love. xx

    OH! Thank you all for these totally wonderful comments!!!!!

    Bel: Well. Those are actually wild egg shells I've found while being out and about in the wilds. The only hen who lays speckled eggs here is Judith! Every now and again, her eggs come out looking very spotty. It's quite charming.

    Elizabeth: I'd have to agree! Perhaps MY book title!!! 🙂

    Claire: Gosh! Thank you. I'll check it out in a moment! x

    Abigail: So are you, sister. x
