Hazel Terry Calico Jewelry II




Today I had a photo shoot for the calico jewelry that I have been making over the last two months and also the work that the students have produced. All of this work has been made from scraps of calico that I have collected over the last few years. It has been great to experiment and see what you can make from bags of rags. The students work will be in my next post.

Thank you to the model Keri McIntosh-McHardy.
