This was my first project after leaving the corporate jewelry industry. I was so burnt out. The only thing I could think to do was to make something that reminded me I was an artist, not a jewelry cog.
Picking the stone and laying out the petals!

The finished product! I'll never sell this one. It represents so much growing understanding of who I am. I wear it most days.
