Killdeer Earrings

This is kind of shorebird that can be seen almost anywhere across the continent where they can find an open area such as a park or a field or a natural area where the vegetation is sparse due to a natural cycle. Nesting in open landscapes corresponds to their trademark behavior of drawing attention with noise and with wing distorting antics that feign an injury to draw attention to itself and lure predators away from the exposed nest.

Jabebo Earrings are made with cereal box paperboard which is a wood fiber that may have gone through paper recycling several times before. Used paperboard is usually not selected for continued recycling because most of its wood fibers are worn and saturated with ink from previous use.

These original designs are fun, sophisticated, and created with science and nature as a source of inspiration. The mismatched sides expand on the theme in a way that often adds interest and educational value.

Designed and handmade in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania.
