CICADAS

Lea Stein is a French Artist, and one of my inspirations. She is well known for her whimsical plastic jewelry pieces, buttons and accessories, taking on a life of their own as; animals, everyday items and people. The process of creating these plastic collectibles takes many months. Stein is often hailed as "the most notable and innovative designer of plastic jewelry of the 20th century" and she is almost 80! These Cicada brooches are so simple, and yet each has it's own unique personality. I aspire to create such masterpieces.
