Carrots

The carrot is one of the most important vegetables in the western world. The name Carota, for the garden carrot, is found first in writings of Athenaeus (A.D. 200), and in the book on cookery by Apicius Czclius. Carrots are as important a food to modern man as they were to our early ancestors. Because they are nutrient dense, portable, delicious, and versatile, they meet the needs of today’s lifestyles and fit into today’s dietary guidelines.

Hand patinaed bronze with hand formed glass beads. Hand made in the USA.

 About the artist: Michael Michaud

"Nature’s creations are the ultimate art that fills our hearts with joy, warms our souls with promise and fuels our spirit with desire. My true inspiration to reflect this beauty in adornment is what my Art is all about.”- Michael Michaud

Artist Michael Michaud was born in Cleveland, Ohio and raised in Westport, Connecticut. He currently resides in Fairfield, CT with his wife and children. Michael studied at the Rochester Institute of Technology's prestigious school for American craftsmen, graduating in 1980. In 1991, fortunate enough to be living in the Connecticut countryside and working near New York City's flower district, Michael's love of nature began to combine with his love of jewelry. Today's collection is a combination of Michael's exceptional knowledge of jewelry making and his love of nature. He has perfected the technique of creating models from natural elements and, after models are made, manipulating these "copies of nature" into beautiful jewelry. Using bronze, sterling silver or gold and natural stones and pearls, Michael's designs have become well known for their remarkable craftsmanship and beauty.
