Zipper Earrings with Stone

Handwoven macrame, Czech glass beads, and a stone accent hang from gold filled ear wires

Amira Axe, an artist and creator from Connecticut, uses macrame techniques learned while traveling and volunteering in Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, Chile, and Uruguay to create unique pieces of body adornment.  Each piece is a work or art and thoughtfully created using metal work tools and techniques, string, stones, beads, and fabric.
