Skull Necklace - pink and green
I love the little bone skull beads on this long necklace. I designed it with fun colors - just in time for the Spring weather.

Tecolote
This is an owl locket that I made with the help of my teacher in Mexico. It is made of silver 950 and the necklace is made of obsidian beads. The owl(or tecolote as they are called in the state of Guerrero Mexico )was made by the technique of repousse. Repousse is a method that involves chasing and hammering with steel tools that are all made by hand- alternating from the front and back of the sheet of metal which is firmly placed into a bowl of pitch. I am crazy about the technique as it allows you to create a sculptural 3D object from a flat sheet of metal - Amazing !
