Fall and Winter Collection: Cloud Links

Nature inspires most of my creations. My Cloud Link Collection represents really what Orange Avocado Jewelry is all about. It is the element of irregularity, the unusual and alittle bit of edge to my jewelry that makes it different from the rest. My Cloud links have been individually made and entwined with one or more links to create a cascading flow of bronze...perfect for fall and the Christmas season. Mixing it up with black and silver agate semi-precious stones, smokey quartz and charcoal swarovski pearls makes a perfect complement to any outfit. Each piece has been handcrafted by me, fired in my kiln for 5 hours and then composed into little works of art for your wrist and neck. Little clouds of jewels; so light and airy, so perfect for you. Enjoy!

Distracted ... Warm winter cowl necks!

Before I made jewelry, I used to knit. I used to knit ALOT. I loved working with many colors at one time. I would sketch an image on graph paper and transpose those drawings to my sweaters. I would knit everywhere: in the car, in bed, at the movie theatre (crazy I know!). I have dug up my old knitting needles and have started to knit again. My daughter commented to my husband, "mom's knitting again"... as if this were another addiction (well sort of!!).

I am very excited to present to you "Orange Avocado" Accessories. These first pieces are handknit by only me so the quantities will be very limited. I have created beautiful, luxurious and warm winter cowl neck pieces. I have carefully chosen a chunky wool/acrylic blend yarn; wool for warmth and acrylic for body and strength. The yarn is characterized by multiple textures and the pieces are machine washable. The colors are punctuated with little surprise hues and huge funky buttons:

• "Citron yellow" mixed with mustards and pinks,
• "Maui Blues" with autumn oranges,
• "Mocha" with aqua blues, and my favorite
• "Mulberry" with coral and lavender hues.

These are not your typical color combinations, but they go beautifully together and "Orange Avocado" is anything by typical.

Stay warm this winter!!
