I make bracelets from the discards of our consumer society: recycled "tin" containers.  In these dramatic and colorful bracelets, the colors, the patterns, and the words taken from post consumer materials contribute important content. The materials are not as precious as gold or silver but in many ways reflect more accurately the values of our society.
