.............................................................

I produce each piece of unique paper jewelry using recycled sterling silver and treated handmade paper. My adornments are DURABLE, LIGHT, and WATER RESISTANT.

In a professional paper studio, I create my distinctive papers using Philippine plant fibers. Each color is individually mixed with steadfast pigments. The paper is treated to protect the surface from water and abrasion.

The results: a vibrant, often translucent paper adornment that is water resistant, and with a resilient memory.

All adornments are hand fabricated in my Seattle studio.
