My Art Spark: Shades of Green

38" worn singly, and makes a delightful 19" double strand piece.


The unseasonably late rain has worked her magic with the earth, which has fed the bazillion shades of green wowing our temperate rainforest world right now. It's been a wacky weather year so far and it may as well be spring now.  I walk these forests daily, and the growth is still unbelievably lush.  It's nice now, but potentially dangerous in the fall when all will have died for lack of water, and the winter rains have not yet come.

I think that nature is my art spark all the time, and I find endless possibilities for my own work reflected in hers.  Thank you for this challenge, Izzy!
