Xela-made jewelry finally online!

Found this online today!

These are some of the earrings I designed and taught to women in Guatemala, back in the summer of 2008. Alternatives, a fair-trade store in Richmond, Virginia, now has a website with some of their most popular and socially-beneficial gifts, and a lot of the jewelry my girls made is on there. Lupe and Ben, the founders of the Highland Support Project, own AlterNatives and use it as a marketplace for many of the traditional crafts of the indigenous Guatemalans they've dedicated their lives to helping. Spread the word, support the cause!
