Any lover of blue things owes themselves a reading of this!

Afrobohemian bracelet created with a series of predominantly patterned black, white, grey, yellow, green, and orange Krobo beads from Ghana.

It took the better part of a day but I designed two bracelets I am proud of. This one is available now and the other will be available in this Friday’s Black History Month Collection. 🧶

The mother of pearl beads remind me of white Irises.

Black and brass necklace with a spray of irregular mother of pearl beads at the center.

The poem Wild Flowers by Nicki Giovanni. The title is plum. The background is cantaloupe and the writing is black.

The Black History Month Collection is coming together and it finally has a name: An Ode to Nikki.

Each piece is inspired by Nikki Giovanni’s poetry. This necklace is a celebration of “Wild Flowers”. 🌺

Photograph of a pile of colorful African beads.

You’re gonna need a lot of beads. When you’re working with handcrafted beads each one has its own dips and curves— idiosyncrasies that make them special. Part of the creative process is bringing the cacophony into harmony. 🧶

Love is.

I don’t know the Cherie Jones book but will be the end of the night!

Oooh! New to me books!!

Thank you. Sometimes I just don’t have the time to make the thing I’m thinking of and my bad drawing keep from putting stuff down on paper for years. Last year, I set myself free and embraced the terrible drawing!

From terrible sketch to tangible jewelry—I’m working on a Black History Month Collection. This piece is inspired by Nikki Giovanni’s poem” Cotton Candy on a Rainy Day “ 🧶

“I am cotton candy on a rainy day the unrealized dream of an idea unborn”

I remember reading this as a young person and really being shocked. It should be required reading.

Frederick Douglass quote: “It is not light that we need, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake.” in black font on a beige background with blue stripes in the bottom right corner.

Oooh! I love it!!

While I’m not a football fan, I am happy for the Philly fans. The joy heard around the city last night warmed my heart. All the joys matter, big and small. 🧶
