Armadillo Pattern Earrings #1 Dainty
This lovely impression comes from a deceased armadillo shell I found near Grand Lake in Northeast Oklahoma. Armadillos frequent the woods around our cabin and can be found rutting along ditches and wooded areas. This one had been deceased for quite a while, and it’s shell bleached by the sun. Had it been fresher, I certainly wouldn’t have been making a mold of it’s back plate -lol! I was amazed at the different patterns found on both the inside and outside of the shell. Although several items in this collection have armadillo impression, each looks quite different from the others.
Bronze & Copper on Hypoallergenic Niobium Earwires
Copper Length/Width - 14mm x 14mm
Bronze Length/Width - 10mm x 10mm
Each piece of Ozark Impressions Jewelry is impressed with nature findings from the Ozark Region where I grew up and continue to live. Every texture reminds me of a hike along an Ozark trail; a creek, river, or cave explored; or a sweet creature that shared these hills with me. I want the wearer to feel a bit of the magic and nostalgia I’ve felt exploring this place, and carry it with them wherever their journey takes them.
My work tells a story; botanicals, fossils, and once living creatures intertwined with our own stories. A celebration and reminder to appreciate the intricate details found in nature; every creature, great and small. Each one-of-a-kind focal bears my own makers mark, and often my fingerprints can be found to have survived the high fire temps of my kiln. A symbol of the connection each of us has in our own exploration through this time and space.
Made for the ones who appreciate the minute details of nature, and wish to never leave the trail, mountain, cave, woods…to never stop exploring.
