Inwood Hill by K. Tempest Bradford
Dangle earrings (hanging approx. 3.5″) with glass, coral, fancy jasper, and wood beads on posts OR clip-ons (buyer should indicate preference). Click the image for a hi-res detail.
These earrings are the creation of K. Tempest Bradford, author of “Black Feather”
The forest where my main character, Brenna, first encounters the ravens is an actual place in Manhattan. Inwood Hill is the last natural forest left on the island, located at the very top, right on the water between Manhattan and the Bronx. It’s one of my favorite places on the planet because it still retains its foresty feeling even though it’s surrounded by apartment buildings and traffic. You don’t have to walk far up the path before a pleasant coolness settles over you and the sounds of the city disappear. If you do it right, you can hide in there all day and forget yourself.
I wanted these earrings to convey the small chaos and beauty that is a forest like Inwood Hill. In order to achieve the depth I wanted, I used very light beads so that neither earring is too heavy (though they do have weight). One is fuller than the other — if you look closely, you can see the black feather hiding within.
