Etsy

My shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/esdesigns

I live in upstate NY, near Albany. I have degrees in Art and Education, and I worked as a public school teacher for a few years before I began selling my work on Etsy full time in 2006.

Plants and water are my favorite subjects. I use recycled sterling silver and gold in my work whenever possible. My botanical pieces are made using plants as models, and then the casting is done by a professional caster. My water inspired pieces (Pool, Shoreline) and fused (Twig and Textile) pieces are hand fabricated by me from raw materials. The enameling and stone setting in my work is done by me in my studio. I love creating custom or personalized designs.
