Path of Bees
During the last year of art school, I began creating small metal alter pieces
and jewelry with sacred and metaphysical themes to incorporate in my larger
installations. I loved making the jewelry so much that I started my own company,
Path of Bees. I chose the name after reading about the sacred funerary objects
found in Egyptian tombs. Most included bee imagery, and I discovered that
the ancient Egyptians believed that bees carry the soul to heaven.
I just make things for the trip. - Deborah Nishihara

Dacs Beads
Many of my beads, in a variety of styles, are inspired by the textures, colors,
natural beauty and mystique of the islands, while others such as the Na Ki'i Pohaku
Series, preserve Hawaii's history. By combining my own blends of frits, enamels and
metal foils I am able to capture the look of sand or the image of a hot lava flow
which is easy to recognize in my "Hawaiian Lava"© Series.- Alethia Donathan
