These are the most petite, thinnest little loves made from the most brilliantly sparkling maple veneer stock! Full of chatoyance, these radiate color from dark and deep to light and bright - all on the same hoop. It's really remarkable. It's a hymn to the relationship between trees and sunlight. A simple finish of many layers of tung oil give these an appealing gloss. 

 

The burgundy color is an electrified combo of cochineal and indigo, complemented with clear sterling silver. 

 

The lighter blush color is a little rusty - weld and cochineal give a clear ambery mauve - a warm neutral to complement any outfit. Gold filled hardware. 

 

The terracotta is bright! Marigold and cochineal give a vibrant shock of a color that depends on the light - in some paces maroon, in some places peach, in some places gold - or is it pink? This one will thrill you. Oxidized brass and a little wooden bead subdue this wild child.

    Tender Fire Studio is part concept, part my tiny basement apartment full of art supplies and very little furniture, and part shared workshop. I work, play, and love on land that was stolen from the Pocumtuc people, settled by colonizers, and continues to be sold for profit in the speculative real estate market for the enrichment and comfort of the owning class. Decolonizing my practice is an ongoing study of how I can be in right relationship to the land, animals, and plants of this place while embracing and acknowledging the often-scary precarity and vulnerability of a life given to the pursuit of soul and the sacred rather than the settler concepts of security and safety. I give thanks and praise to the rivers that form this Connecticut River valley, to these sand hills and the ants that dwell here and find my kitchen window so inviting, to the many birds and their dawn hymns, and to the forests: o the trees, the ferns, the damp stones and the deep deep woods, you are the mercy of the sacred in cellulose flesh.
