I first noticed Diane Archer at the Metal Guild show many years ago.  I've always loved the jewelry she makes using maps and stones.  It it's just beautiful stuff.  Now she is also created mixed media pieces.  I came very close to buying this piece above at the Buckman Art Show and Sell.  I came back to look at it several times because it just really spoke to me.  In the end, I walked away because it was just too far out of my price range.  One day I hope to own a piece of her work.

Here is an example of the extraordinary jewelry she creates.  Lovely!
