Secret Cholla Weavings




Secret Cholla Weavings
These earring designs are inspired by cholla skeletons. An apparent weave is revealed when the outer layers recede through the drying elements of sun, wind & the occasional rain. The cholla loses its painful spines & tough, protective outer layers.
That idea of losing layers points for me of how our own growth & healing unveils another kind of beauty & light. There is an ‘art’ to letting life apply its grist to ourselves to reveal more of our light.
Each earring is built from brass that I am weaving by hand, then, they are textured through a series of hammerings. I add more texturing through soldering sterling wire over the ends of the weavings that I have created.
Their width ranges from 1/4”-3/8”
