definition - marl yarn
Two or more singles (plys or strands of yarn) of different colors that have been plied (twisted) together, usually giving a barber pole effect.
These can be made from different types of fiber (such as cotton, wool or acrylic) that take dyes differently, then they are dyed for unusual effects.

Necklace: Enamelled copper pieces with copper chains, glass and ceramic beads.
My background is in textiles, yarn actually, but I've always loved jewelry. The love affair began and still continues with vintage and tribal or anything with a vintage vibe.
Throughout the years I've collected many pieces, took ones that were broken apart and made new pieces.
There was always a curiosity about how jewelry was made, so one weekend I enrolled in a Jewelry I at a community college and continued on with many other courses including casting and enamelling.
This does not exclude my love of fine jewelry, but my real love is "distressed chic"...a hippy at heart.
Below are a few pieces that I've designed and fabricated in a variety of ways, mixing it all up together.

Burgundy has to be one of the richest colours in fashion, especially when it is a dark wine or bordeaux. Of course friends may attribute this not so much to my love of fashion, but to my liking the flowing kind of wine.
Nina Garcia ( judge on "Project Runway" and high muckety muck at Marie Claire ) has declared burgundy the new black. So, whether I'm wearing the colour or admiring it in a glass, it is the "it" colour for fall.
