Announcement    I live near lake Superior and take great inspiration from it. I try to incorporate gemstones from this area in my jewelry creations. The south shore is great with all of the sandy beaches, in Northern Wisconsin. I love to go to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan on vacation. Along the way I am always hunting for things to make jewelry from. I have found south shore laker beads and even copper brick beads from the old copper smelters on the UP. I have also found a source of nice amethyst drilled natural points from the amethyst mines in Ontario, Canada, near the North shore of Lake Superior. And...... last but not least I LOVE STEAMPUNK !!!!! I also give free shipping to my Family members.
