Impoverished meets minimalistic.
The design of this earring is a modern peasant. I got the concept from watching a late 1800’s movie.
I like the random holes in the tractor inner tube paired with hand-carved bone beads. They’re strung onto shoulder sweeping black linen cord.
The flat round bead under bone bead did not show up well in the photos, it is a beautiful deep brick red color. Stunning!
Niobium ear wires, great for sensitive skin
Shoulder sweeping 4” long
Hand-carved bone beads 25mm long
Very lightweight to wear

RURAL ROOTS + SLOW STYLE ART
I’m a self-taught artist from Minnesota-you betcha!! I enjoy taking discarded materials & creating them into new means of usefulness. My choice of medium is tractor & bicycle inner tubes along with found objects of interest.
My art is a slow style jewelry & handbag atelier founded in 2008, my focus is ethically crafted in timeless silhouettes that contain boldness & driven by my passion to be uncommon. I don’t do cookie-cutter!
All my styles are 100% handmade to be minimal waste-meaning only small amounts of the inner tube are left over after cutting, sewing & assembling my work. I believe that having a propose in creating my art softens the carbon footprint we leave behind. Together we can make a conscious choice to stand for our values.
Black is my happy color!
