An open sketchbook page filled with hand-drawn jewelry concepts in pencil and colored pencil. Designs include an eye surrounded by yellow petals and blue beads, a cross adorned with red garnet-like stones and teardrop beads, and ornate heart and scroll motifs labeled with notes such as “ebony,” “silver blade,” “rock crystal,” and “garnet teardrop beads.” Handwritten words like “hearts, eyes, teardrops, shells, stars” and “grief, love, feminine, the sacred” appear around the sketches.
