OLD CRAFT NEW LOOK

Muhrizah Brunken, Central State College student from Malaysia, holds a necklace she has made from polished wood and metal.

By Jean Gilmore Women’s Editor
CREATIVITY RUNS rampant in Oklahoma. … Muhrizah Brunken, is from Malaysia. A fulltime student with classification as a junior, she’s had one semester of jewelry making. In this time, she made the very contemporary wood and sliver necklace … and also the dangling earrings. Miss Brunken was a little startled at the high cost of stones in Oklahoma so she’s going to bring some back from Malaysia when she returns from a visit home. She’s leaving soon for the brief trip across the ocean.
