Wildflower Earrings 1

In the spring, the Texas landscape explodes in technicolor... brightly-colored wildflowers spread out over green grass fields dotted with lush shade trees. It's an amazing place to pedal a bicycle through... you feel like you're riding through a painting!

 

This spring, I had the amazing opportunity to travel through the wildflowers of Texas Hill Country on my bicycle, as part of an ongoing journey around the US and beyond. As we travel, I'm collecting small reminders of the areas we pass through, and incorporating them into one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry. (Yes, I'm carrying a portable studio!)

 

These delicate earrings are made of 100% eco-friendly sterling silver, and feature dried flower buds collected throughout this beautiful area, sealed with shellac. Small black glass beads dangle from the bottom.

 

Earrings hang approx. 1.5" long.
