Anasazi Corn

beaded earrings, recycled art

Here's a new style of earring in my Etsy shop. The "cones" at the top are actually recycled shell casings, modified by the MOTH and moi. These amazing seed beads are so tiny, and they remind me of the ancient corn or maize varieties grown by the Anasazi and others in the Southwest and Mesoamerica.

Take a look at these images from Seeds of Change if you don't know what I'm talking about:
