"Tenacity" - This tree was inspired by a Birch tree near my home.
It grows out the side of a narrow gulch and just inspired me by the way it
hangs on. This tree is formed with silver floral wire and glass fringe
beads and natural mother of pearl shell and is in a Bonsai pot.

Morrisonite Jasper pendant-slide. Morrisonite is from
the now closed mine on the famous Jim Morrison Ranch. For more
information Google 'Morrisonite'. Made with sterling silver
and 14kgf wire. Because of the beautiful colors in this cabochon I
decided to use both colors of metal. I have never seen another piece
like this. It has been hand polished on one side. It reminds
me of an old-fashioned lady wearing a tapestry gown. I will include
a cord or chain.
