During my first pregnancy, I spent my days along the Oakland side of the Bay collecting tiny oyster shells. In time, my husband and two children joined me, each shell becoming part of our family’s quiet ritual of discovery.
Years later, this piece emerged as a celebration of simplicity and connection. Paired with 19th-century sequins and slender pins, and set upon a board of Chinese joss paper, it reflects the harmony between nature’s quiet beauty and the artful touch of the human hand.
