ANTLER AND TUSK

Travel has always been a huge part of my life and I have been lucky that my business benifits from my travels immensely.  The necklace pictured below is a great example.  The pig tusk was found at a market in Laos, the chain i bought in Japan and feathers i found during a 5 night long trek into the northern jungle of  Laos.  A guide and a translator took us into the heart of jungle to stay each night in a different hill tribe village.  We were the first westerners to travel into the area since it had not developed as a tourist destination until recent. I was the first white woman that any of the women and children has ever seen in person.  I hiked 8 hours that first day staring at the live chicken tied to the translators back. That evening we enjoyed the chicken for dinner and the feathers i collected that night have been incorporated into many different jewlery pieces.
