One of a Kind Curly Maple Earring

I started making earrings with wood from a bamboo cutting board and my mom’s old cedar hope chest from the 60’s. When I lived in California, I cut down a white oak tree. I used the heart on a construction job, installing coconut shell one-inch pieces and guitar picks. I thought they were very colorful, and a foldable trivet hot pad made from various pieces of hardwood, all repurposed materials, to make earrings. My earrings are all one-of-a-kind; you'd be owning a pair that no one else has.

My curly maple earrings come from a crafter's block. Curly maple is unique because the curls are iridescent when light strikes them correctly. All my earrings are one of a kind; no two are alike.
