'Embrace all that you are'

This one is about exposing different layers and parts of ourselves. It's kind of like the Russian doll idea. Each ball fits inside the one before and when it's all together you don't see what is contained.

It's (from largest to smallest), silver with sapphire beads, titanium, silver with red fluffy inside, gold, silver and enamel (like stained glass so the light shines through when you hold it up).

This one came about partly because it just appeared as these tend to do but also as a response to my life over the last few years. Peeling away the onion skin and exposing new bits. Maybe I should call it 'mid life crisis'!

Yes, but look how colourful it is all the way to the middle. It's beautiful.

It's really delightful, Bee. What a lovely idea (and lovelier execution)!

They are gorgeous and so symbolic of how we all are a compilation of layers, each beautiful in a different way. Thank you.
