Another one done. A couple years ago, I made a wáwya bag and was inspired to make a necklace. The #wáwya is the symbol for counting coup and it’s surrounded by the #MedicineWheel. A simple design but I love that blue.

The annual “stock up on coffee before you run out and have to buy it at Christmas and it takes forever because the post is backlogged” coffee order. Five kilos of highland Cairns coffee goodness. #Coffee #QueenslandCoffee #CoffeeIsGood

This one will go down as the most bizarre one to date. I don’t know if I like it but I definitely don’t hate it. It’s a study in reds and blues, corals and turquoise, land and sea and the design had a mind of its own.
