Starving Jewelry Artist September 2008 "Harvest Moon" Design Challenge

I am very excited and honored to tell you that I won the "Harvest Moon" September 2008 Design Challenge hosted by Starving Jewelry Artist Website. It was my first entry to their monthly challenge and I loved the theme. Neil Young's "Harvest" album kept playing in my head as I sketched out my idea and brought it to life. Here is a photo of the piece, and here is the link to their website. The Starving Jewelry Artist Connection website.

The piece is constructed of a sterling silver base, with a textured brass tree cutout, a stamped copper bush, and bezel set yellow quartz. The piece is strung on indian seed beads in autumn colors of gold and copper.
