One of the most time-intensive pieces I make. Each pearl is wrapped in wire and intertwined with the next, so that no pearl sits alone.

The next pourOnly when a new piece arrives

A quiet note when a new piece comes off the bench.

No monthly letters and no marketing, only a short note when a new piece is finished, or a small collection is ready to be poured. Sometimes weeks apart, sometimes months.
