Collection: the primrose collection

A nod to an upcoming collection of wall pieces, this collection of earrings is named after February’s birth flower—the Primrose.

As I beaded these pieces I was reminded how difficult it is right now to create something I would consider “aesthetically cohesive”, because to finish anything I am walking away and coming back over and over again as time allows me to bead. I love each piece on its own, but when laid out beside each other there it occurs to me that they don’t especially “match”.

Poetically speaking the true cohesiveness lies in the lack of “matching”. The glue that binds my work together right now, the ribbon of reality that runs through it, is the constant background noise of laughter, tears, and tiny feet on hard floors. The sounds of this season of young motherhood.

Never a dull moment.

Rarely a spare moment.

So don’t mind this wide variety of color ways and patterns.

Nothing new but all different.

These pieces speak of two tiny little people who take precedence in all the craziness of life.

(And of a yearning for spring, enter yellows and greens.)

Much love,

Chloe M. Palmer
