Personal adornments with artistic flair & vintage feel

artistsoul's Shop Announcement

After much anticipation, my shop "doors" are open. Since the time I rented my space and now, "life" happened. However, my etsy shop is now even MORE meaningful to me and I'm sure that feeling will show up in my creations. Each piece is designed with my heart and soul, and is one of a kind.

My work is of the highest quality, using the best "ingredients" that I personally locate. I draw inspiration from years spent in the fine arts, as well as nature, dreams, and a natural gift from the Heavens which I take no credit for myself.

Please look often, as you will see many additions and an ever evolving and expanding selection. Of great importance to me, besides the act of creating in and of itself, is creating a happy,loyal customer, who feels great joy in owning and wearing my work.

**PLEASE NOTE**: The mainstay of my work is a vast collection of true vintage West German glass beads from the 1950's. A few years ago, I had the pleasure of managing a shop for the gentleman who purchased the entire remaining stock stored inside the closed original factory in Kaufbeuren, (then Western) Germany. Kaufbeuren is where most premier bohemian beadmakers settled after being driven out of their respective homelands after WWII. I have been investing in them ever since. These are "new old" stock and becoming even more difficult to find, therefore increasing their investment value. Aside from being quite beautiful, they possess shapes that fascinate the imagination and their quality is unmatched in today's world.

I also use some of the same beads as the famed designer, Miriam Haskell, whose work continues to inspire me.
