Combining Graphic Design with Jewelry Design

Among all the art that I do, fiber art - paper art - graphic art, jewelry design is one of my favorites. Recently I decided to take elements of my graphic design work to create pendants using shrink plastic (yes, shrinky dinks from the good old days). These little pieces of art are now available from my Etsy shop Barrel of Monkeys.
