Today is the second of my two summer events this year, at Gather Mountain Bloom Farm for the annual Rocky Mountain Flower Festival!

I've crafted a small cache of designs that really speak to and celebrate the underlying energy of this gathering - treasures of the local growing season...

Trail-Hardy Gem Cuffs

Six unique cuffs, each with natural and ethically-sourced gems that reverberate the colors of the deep purples in our native Columbine flowers, warm terracotta colored sandstone backdrops, vining fruits and vegetables, and the prismatic glow of welcomed afternoon rain showers, thanks to monsoon season!

Each crafted in sterling silver, by hand, with texture from my collection of hammers and anvils passed down through generations...

Sculpted Seed Pods

All my sculpted pieces take twice the amount of time as other pieces, but I love the love and gentle handling that goes into each one! Plus, everything about these is mini...even the kiln I fire them in! Who doesn't love mini!?

-- SEED POD PENDANTS --

Just four tiny pods have been made into pendants, and hang with a double oval loop from a sterling silver diamond-cut ball style chain.

-- SEED POD DANGLES --

Only two pair of these dangles are crafted, and each about 25% larger than the pendants. The pods move with you, while secured on my hand-formed ear-wires that I've soldered the loops shut.

If any of these pieces come home from today's festival, they'll be available to the e-mail community first, before listing in the online shop!
