The Africana collection up close
Africana- n. (used with a pl. verb) Materials, such as books, documents, or art objects, relating to the history or culture of African peoples. (www.thefreedictionary.com)
I created this collection based on descriptions I’d read about African jewelry, before the introduction of European glass beads. I loved the idea of women and men in ropes and ropes of wood beads and made my own interpretation. My favorite without a doubt it is the Nzinga necklace series. Each one is unique but they all add a look of complete…regality. That isn’t a word. I had to make it up because that’s how serious this necklace is- it NEEDS it’s own word.
I talked about my influences before, when I first introduced the Nzinga bracelets Since then, I’ve continued to add to the Africana collection, it is still my favorite.
Live, love, create
These are just the things I like, the things I make and the things I photograph

Everyone who knows me, knows Emma Watson registered on my fashion crush list with her daring haircut. Her style is so crisp, so neoclassic and inspired that I have found myself making a few pieces inspired by her outfit.
My favorite earned the honor of being her namesake. Check it out here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/79232082/the-emma-earrings
It was inspired by one of her darker, more daring looks and one of my favorite outfits
