Guest Artist Edythe Sigman: Necklace and Earrings with Black Springs



The guest artist is my Aunt Edy who is 97 years young. She started making jewelry about 10 years ago, after cataract surgery improved her vision. During my recent trip to Denver, I helped Aunt Edy get ready for her move to Baltimore. We ran errands all over Denver, we packed boxes, and suitcases, but somehow we managed to make time to look at over 100 necklaces she has been making. She gave me a few of them, and I wore them during my trip. While I was unpacking today, I decided to photograph my new necklaces and post them here. Aunt Edy not only designed this necklace and earring set, she also made the beads by winding wire into tiny coils, using on a device called a gizmo.
