Mississippi Leaves Earrings 1

Late spring in Mississippi is warm and humid. Plants and trees are blossoming and growing wildly. Traveling through this region on a bicycle transports you into another world, and you can't help but feel intimately connected with the nature around you.

 

This May and June, I had the amazing opportunity to travel through parts of Mississippi 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 earrings are made of 100% eco-friendly sterling silver, and feature bits of reddish-purple leaves collected from a small bush alongside a road in Mississippi.

 

Earrings hang approx. 2" long.
