“In addition to making jewelry and accessories—which are handcrafted from recycled, deconstructed, and repurposed items—I am a freelance writer. I write about a variety of topics ranging from tax tips and camping to style and beauty.”

From the Judges: “These earrings look good and will make an excellent conversation starter at any social occasion, as the idea contains a wry element of social commentary about the banking system meltdown and hard economic times.” —Bill Moggridge
