Wonder what this is made of.....they are just coconut shell pendents. I happen to see some broken coconut shells in my garden and thought It could be turned into something beautiful. Wonder how much i have succeeded in it...like to have your comments about it.
I used simple natural materials and traditionally handcrafted, hand-painted, detailed ceramic beads in a diverse combination. I paid attention to the harmonic colours, to use those which appear in nature as well, like black and brown shades of the earth, green of the forests, plants, and more vibrant ones of the flowers. For the leather strip is pretty long, the earrings may reach along to your shoulders, where the coconut shell circles would roll up and down and tickle your skin. The pendants are unique pieces in the world. The white beads which are splashed into paint they glow under blacklight! I fitted the light-weight, nature-dependent pending earrings with silver and simple hooks.

Here in Andalucia on the Costa del Sol I sometimes get involved into the lifestyle of the coast: the natural mediterranean environment and the boats inspire me very much. These earrings of beads were born in the nature. Lightweight wood, coconut shell, leather and hand-painted ceramic beads are mounted together with a fine silver string.
• Itt Andalúziában a Costa del Sol-on időnként el-elkap a tengerparti életérzés: inspirál a mediterrán természetes környezet és a hajózás. Ezek a gyöngyös függők a természetből születtek. Könnyűfából, kókuszhéjból, bőrből és kézzel festett kerámiagyöngyökből kötöztem őket egy finom ezüst szállal.
Several more photos from my Libreville period... While I'm already hiking up the Vienna hills and adjusting to central-european fall weather, I fondly remember the heat of equatorial sun in Libreville. And since I still have some photos on Flickr (in private mode) that were uploaded during the last days in Gabon but never made public because of lack of time to write their descriptions) I'm making them public as I find the time to work on them before I start uploading any photos from Austria.
By the way, it actually takes a lot of time and efford to cut a coconut in half nicely (for future projects).
If you drop a whole coconut on the ground in equatorial Africa, and completely disregard it, in less the 6 months you'll have a coconut tree like this.

No two coconut shells' faces are alike. This elegant image is the hard kernel of a dried coconut seed. It has been weathered to the extent that the fleshy inside part has rotted. I collected about 14 of those and found that no two had the same face. The last slide of my photostream shows COMO, a cousin of SID

This hollow coconut shell was very light and getting tossed around in the surf but then it suctioned into the sand for a few moments before it was back on it's way...
I so enjoy mixing the textures of different objects such as wood, felt, stone, coral, sand paper and fluffy yarn.The brooches incorporate objects around me, using pieces I find beautiful in nature that have fallen to the ground. When walking in a park or walking my dog I look at the most miniscule things that have fallen to the ground. I know these things I find are already dead but I see so much life still yet to be lived. What amazing textures and color some of these objects have.
Mixed media is the best way to express the world I live in. A world that is hard, soft, textured, layered and is forever changing. I like it that way.
This piece has a beautiful honey colored high polished coconut shell.
Measures 3.5 to 4 inches in diameter with a pin back fastener.
