Saboneteira, a plant seed
Saboneteira (Sapindus saponaria) is a natural seed used as a material in these handcrafted pieces. This documentary image shows the seed before it is incorporated into the jewelry.
Calabash, from tree to cuia
The calabash (Crescentia cujete) has long been part of everyday life in northern Brazil. Once the fruit is worked, it can become a cuia: an object used for serving and holding food or drink, and for passing on gestures and know-how.
