Necklaces

Bellydance

The main reason I started making necklaces is because I was tired of the ones I bought always being too short. There are plenty of necklaces for little skinny necks! Check Out The Raven's Nest.

Earrings

I love, love, love danglies and long earrings. I'm also experimenting more with earrings that aren't identical but still match. Check Out The Raven's Nest.

Bracelets

I dabble in bracelets sometimes. I try to make all of my bracelets with variable length to accommodate most sizes and comfort levels. Check Out The Raven's Nest.

Wardiyas

Wardiya (Arabic for rosary) has its roots in the Semitic word ward, meaning rose. Many of the names for prayer beads acoss cultures have their roots in the word rose or rose garden, the symbolism being a place where one could go for quiet meditation and introspection. The linguistic root of ward means, among other things, "to blossom", "to enter", or "travel to". That is why I chose this name for my longer prayer bead sets. These are chains of 99 and 108 beads arranged in a variety of ways, incorporating elements from Malas, Tasbihs, and Rosaries. Patterns incorporating the numbers 3, 9, and 12 are abundant here and inform every design I make. Check Out The Raven's Nest.
