My shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/rainbeauxcraft

For rainbeauxcraft I make original ACEO art cards (no prints), tiny paintings, custom pet portraits, hand painted necklaces and ornaments, and colorful jewelry designs including vintage components. Unusual and vintage supplies inspire me with new designs.

Friends encouraged me to try Etsy. One of my favorite things about the internet is meeting new friends and making connections, and Etsy has been a good place for me to do that.

Riding my bike to stores in childhood and spending my allowance on supplies was my first experimentation with different art media. I like to say now I have M.A.D....Multiple Art Disorder. It's a happy thing! The materials inspire me and lead me in a certain direction. It's a joyful discovery for me.

The first beads I had were from Mardi Gras. As kids we had necklaces which had been thrown from floats, but some were strung with vintage Czech glass. We would "pop" the necklaces and make new jewelry from them.

I am a professionally trained and juried artisan in many media. I have won awards for art, craft and design. But what gives me the most satisfaction is making something that makes someone else happy. I hope something in my shop will make you smile.

In rainbeauxcraft, you'll find ready to ship and custom order pieces. My items are made in my smoke-free home studio when they are not painted directly in the outdoors.

Please feel free to contact me for any additional info or for custom inquiries. I am contact-friendly and answer convos as soon as I have access to a secure computer with internet access, in between adventures and teaching art.
