Summer by the Sea

Under a moonlit sky a mermaid fashioned herself a brooch of seaweed. One dark and stormy night, as my sailboat was rocked by the dark waters in fury, she came to my rescue. I awoke on a remote Tahitian shore, remembering a strange dream of wild wind and sea. I found this lovely treasure next to me, a token of her natural grace.

This lovely brooch is made of a soft and lustrous velvet of sapphire or dark teal blue, like seaweed, and drawn from a coral branch I found walking on the beach one morning. It's a great wearable art piece and one of my favorites! 

Seaweed Coral Brooch

Summer Navy

This lovely coquettish navy rose is the perfect compliment. It has a brooch pin back and can be attached to almost anything, tops, dresses, skirts, purses and belts to name a few. I also design some navy and blue summer pieces, they work with the pale shades of summer, and are perfectly paired with those crisp whites!

Summer Flowers

It a garden of flowers over at Joliette, all the lovely shades of summer in beautiful necklace, brooches and accessories! Custom colors are also available, especially convenient for bridal parties. Here's a little selection of my newest works. I hand dye the silk myself, with an eco-friendly, no harsh chemical process, the fabrics are mostly a shimmery soft silk, I also use some fine linens and other found elegant fabrics. The beading process is also an added luxury as I go above and beyond to make these real treasures, with a variety of sparkly seed beads, in silver and gold, pearls and crystals as well. Hope you enjoy!
