Hello Shello! it's that time of year again when the yellow blossoms of New Zealand's unofficial national flower, the kowhai, are painting our landscapes with a pop of sunny cheer. 🌞 So here I am posing just outside my local library with one of their kowhai trees in full bloom.
So, that inspired me to revive an old jewellery design. Remember my Kowhai Floragems? I decided to get down on my knees and handpick a few fallen petals (as tusual I got a few stares when I was on my knees 😂
After pulling these drying and meticulously cutting these golden treasures into tiny bits, I've infused them into resin nuggets.
The result? Earrings that look like they're made from semi-precious stones (very similar to citrine stones.
Kowhai flowers bloom for only a short period, but having kowhai Floragem earrings is like enjoying them all year round!
