Having a collection of childhood pins, charms and milagros, I decided to make whimsical and nonsensical art objects incorpotating them with knitted wire. Many of these can be worn as pendants as well as hung on the wall. They're meant to be fun, but of course I bring my painting and drawing sensibility to their design.
