Bio info:
Sally Donovan and I began Alba Designs, and as time went by Sally became the color expert and I, the brawn of the team. Besides the earrings and switch plate shown, we have necklaces, bracelets, and more gifts in seashore or other designs, including flowers, songbirds, and wildlife.

Sally and I tried the millefiori technique with polymer clay in 1994. We are fascinated by using snakes and ribbons of colorful clay to make a cross-sectional image that stays as the cane rolls smaller. Making and wearing these miniature images of nature is a worship of the wild regretably diminishing.
