I am fascinated by the lotus flower, and I find myself time and again reinventing jewelry around my thoughts of them. This is how these were born. The subtle swirl in these handmade local artisan lampwork beads reminds me of water and the flower itself, cragly brown wood beads of roots and mud, white of pureness, and hill tribe stamen charms of reproduction and rebirth. The red lotus was introduced to Egypt from Persia.Another glimpse into the workings of my mind.

Oh, Sharon, I do love these and especially the creative thinking behind them. These are wonderful combination of materials and textures.
Such great combination of color and textures and the lotus stamens are so cool!
And such beautiful workings!!!
Very serene looking and full of visual and tactile texture!
beautiful Sharon!! love the color of the lampwork beads.. and the story of those earrings.. !! kisskiss
Love the color combo, and normally I'm not a coral/pinky type person. I especially like the top, woody like bead. Very nice!
Very, very nice! Just the perfect bohemian look that I love!
i too am very drawn to the lotus flower and all that is symbolizes... this is beautiful... another interpretation of that botanical with such deep meaning... in my ring, i used a white flower because of the lotus - even though it isn't a lotus.. but you understand!
I love all of your jewelry, but these are especially nice. That wood bead makes everything look especially serene. Just gorgeous. - Kathy
