Each Monday we feature the Designer of the Week. One of our editors pick their favorite from the Monthly Challenge entries. This week's featured designer is mairedodd! with her entry, "winterberries and la pie."
ABS Editor Cindy Gimbrone says mairedodd described the necklace so perfectly, she'll will let her speak for herself:
"cindy gimbrone's glass instantly reminded me of snow and ice, frost in the woods...its free form is so organic... i created an icicle-y, berry cluster... a winding winterberry branch with glass headpins and fibers... opaque and translucent... faceted and smooth... light and shadow... a small sterling disc is stamped with a shivering bird perched in the falling snow..."
See more at of mairedodd's wonderfully eclectic jewelry ather Etsy and Art Fire shops. Read how she creates and lives life on her blog.

I agree, this necklace is fantastic! The donut is also very special and I think they should be used more in jewelry making :)
