Jewelry and miniatures are all hand-made by artist Debbie O'Rourke. The designs are based on monarch caterpillar patterns and the wood-carvings in the installation Milkweed Patch. Most are created from driftwood treated by wood-burning and painting with acrylic and varnish. No two pieces are identical, but pairs are carefully balanced for a symmetrical effect.
