Flower bombs are teas that come in a ball form and by placing them in your hot water they expand to create a beautiful blossom in the bottom of your cup.

NEW PUPPY

My new puppy Lily!
She is a Lab Whippet mix rescued from Puerto Rico. We named her Lily because she was so calm, and cautious. But now shes seems to have gotten very comfortable in our home now, shes is no longer calm but now very crazy and into everything...we now call her Lily Loco:)

Fingers

Finger print sketches

More fingers, larger ones. When i used my hands the finger prints were so small that it gave off the feeling of a child's hand. These are much larger and read differently. I also made waxes of more of the finger, so i have more of the wax to manipulate.

Jar full of fingers that i keep on my desk:)

Silver Aloe Cages

Silver and Aloe

These are silver Aloe holders. The Aloe can be slipped in the cage threw the back of the pin. The aloe can be replaced, after it has died and a new leaf is needed. The shape of the aloe is echoed in the silver that contains it. Now the Aloe can be worn on the shirt and now is available when needed.

Aloe Cages

Steel Aloe cages.

This is what i first started with. These are welded steel cages in which to place the Aloe leaves. This was a quick exercise to get ideas out there and in motion. They are very static and dont really express the elegant shape of the Aloe leaf. But it was a start.

Scaned Sketches

Different clusters of Aloe leaves. How they touch. Does it relate to the over all idea?
I have tried several different variations of how to arrange the Aloe leaves.

Fingerprint jewelry

Fingerprint charms created as a keepsake of a loved one. Nice idea, simple and everyone will be unique.
