Tiny rose leaves from an Iowa wild
rose bush that grew up in our juniper hedge. Too bad the wild things
always choose where we don't want them. But isn't that the gift of
being able to see beauty where others see a nuisance? Earrings, 1"w x 1-1/2" long, sterling wires $36.00 |

Only days after they unfurled from
their buds, these tiny maple leaves were rolled in a polymer clay mold to
immortalize them. To immortalize my theft, actually. The tree
is at a golf course. It's better for me to think about art than my
golf game...! earrings 3/4" wide x 1-1/4" long $36.00 |

Another example of being shown
beauty where my tendency is to see frustration... This leaf was the tiny
promise of a vine that wants to invade and take over my raspberry shrubs
every year. I did rip it out, even though I appreciated and molded
these leaves. I make great artwork with my raspberries, too! 1" diam. discs. 1-1/2" long total. Cultured pearl drops $40.00 |

Over the years, I've learned to look
for leaves early in the spring so that they are tiny and appropriate scale
for jewelry. However, what to do the rest of the year when I need
new material? Herbs! These delicate beauties look like
flowers. It is actually a mold of English Thyme. 2" long $36.00 |
