Columbines
My favorite pieces from today and the photo that inspired them. This pretty little columbine was blooming along a trail we hiked in the Cascades. In honor of its perky, translucent petals, I formed and hammered a petal shape out of 10-gague sterling silver and dangled some spiderweb carnelian and yellow jade from the other end of the lariat. Matching earrings complete the look.
