Silver Sparrow Designs

Because the cost of silver has gone crazy, I thought it would be good to explore other ways to make jewelry, and I remembered that I used to love doing loom work. Back in the day, I made some very elaborate projects on a loom- a mandolin strap that depicted a mountainous landscape going through all four seasons, a camera strap with an intricate geometric pattern, a beautiful river belt, and lots of other smaller projects. I loved doing that work.

So here’s my first project. I jumped on this bandwagon and made this pin. I used an oversized safety pin as a nod to the safety pin as a symbol of solidarity when trump was first elected. I’m very pleased with it! I forgot how satisfying loom work is. The beads are glass, not plastic, and the finished product has a lovely feel to it. I’ve ordered more colors and am going to start my next project ❤️

For her 18th birthday, June wanted to get matching tattoos. She asked me to reserve this spot inside my wrist many years ago and she chose Violets, which is her birth flower. Love how they turned out! Thank you so much, , for such beautiful work ❤️

It felt so good to stand in protest with my community today! ❤️
