About the necklaces
 
   I use several methods to create my necklaces.
 The pendants on the necklaces are cast or fabricated in sterling or fine silver. I add color with glass enamel fired in a kiln.
   I make the chains by hand. They incorporate cast elements, enameled copper tubing or woven links. These elements are joined with sterling or fine silver wire.

About the pendants

   The colorful pendants are made by firing enamel between fine silver wires on disks of pure silver. This technique is called cloisonne`. The enameled disks are set in sterling silver on hammered copper.
   My garden serves as the starting point for the sterling silver leaf pendants. I pick real leaves and cast them to make these pendants. They are darkened with liver of sulfur to emphasize the veins.
