There is something mesmerizing about the movement of water just before a storm, the shifting surface, deep shadows, and flashes of light beneath the waves. Dark Tides draws on that sense of movement and depth.
At the center is a dramatic Gobi eye agate, whose natural pattern becomes the focal point of the design. Black glass beads and carefully stitched rows of longleaf pine needles crate a dark, fluid composition around the stone.
Like water in changing light, the surface reveals something different from every angle.
