Thanks for stopping by!
You are one of a kind so make sure your jewelry is the same way! Maudies offers eclectic & unique pieces that are make by hand in my home studio. I am a self taught artist using lots of techniques and tricks I have learned along the way.
When I was a kid, I would go with my parents to antique car swap meets. I would find a box filled with broken jewelry, coins, bits of metal pieces, stamps, nuts and bolts. I remember feeling like I had found a treasure trove. I have never lost that feeling and now take those bits of memories and pieces of the past and make unique pieces of wearable art.
My mother gave me a strand of handmade glass beads that my father bought her in Italy in the 50's. They always intrigued me so when I started making jewelry, I loved using similar glass beads so I learned how to make them! All my lampwork beads are handmade by me in my studio. I anneal all my beads in a digitally controlled kiln for strength and durability along with cleaning them so they will be ready for you to use in your creations as soon as they arrive in a special tin! Safe shipping, great storage afterwards!
