My Kabuki Kachinas deal with the harmony of nature—powerful, spiritual, beautiful, and delightful. I've been incorporating recycled jewelry as elements of design in addition to reusing stones pulled from old jewelry and recycling metals. This piece has elements from two platinum diamond pins and part of an earring. Snowflakes as the flowers of winter.
