My freeform piece "Wild Roses" was inspired by a piece of music my son wrote, "Metamorphosis" It sounds like spring when nature comes to life. It reminded me of  wild roses growing on a lattice. So I made a lattice base for my necklace, and a friend inspired the color of wild roses. I like these because they will never wilt.

Zen-tangles inspired me to make this piece. I used yarn and sewing thread to crochet, needle weave, and embroider in order to make it. At first, I started with the sun rise and then had the rays of the sun track around the shapes. From then on, the piece took on a life of its own. In each shape, I put things that inspire me such as a spider web which glistens in the light, Koi fish which are so colorful, and a bird's nest which symbolizes the beginning  of life. Overall, these are some of the little things I enjoy in life.
