Silver Wymn

I've always wear jewelry. I never leave home without it. My collection has varied over the years, but mostly it consists of turquoise and natural stone rings. In the 60s, I didn't have a lot of money to spend on jewelry - mostly I traded paintings with my friends for silver rings. I usually wore a necklace too - whether it was small beads or large.

So, now, here is my current collection. I have two bracelets - they are both of the inlay designs from the Hopi Indians. One is a design and the other is the man in the maze design. I have eight rings - a large bird ring with a garnet; another bird design head of a bird on a feather; a turquoise ring from Cerillos, NM; a large shadowbox turquoise rings; an opal ring; a silver design ring (bought from the Folsom Prison gift shop); a light blue turquoise ring. The necklace is one I made of silver charms with some seed beads.

The background is a collage I made for my cube at work - now it's in my art room.
