Introducing a new section...Whips and Chains. There won't be many pieces in this section, but what there is will be extra special. Still working with Steampunk eyes, but on a whole new level of creativity. I finally have space for a mannequin that I can use for shaping and draping chain, to the level I need. Be sure to visit when something is listed, I'm sure things will sell fast.
New too, is all pieces from me will come with a signed logo and stamp, TSA. Do not accept imitators of my work, those that imitate will be sent a cease and desist letter, and if those items are not removed from their web pages, I will contact my attorney, and that person will pay the attorney fees according to Etsys copyright policies.
The new payment/layaway plan has been installed, so if you wish to buy something and would like for me to hold something for you, send me a convo and we'll chat on how long and for how much....
Things are looking up as well, I have moved my studio out to the garage, for more room. My space has gone from a 2'x2' desk, to a 6'x4' area, now to a 13'x18' area to give me more room. I'm hoping by this summer to have a parttime employee to help me paint eyes, as I have brought on a wholesale customer.
Other good news is I have a twitter account, you can follow me here, at www.twitter.com/twistedsisarts
I have also found help in translating orders. I ship all over the world, and sometimes communication through email is difficult. Here's a wonderful tool, that you can choose your language and then translate it into English. I can also write in English, and have it translated into other languages. Please let me know what language you speak, and I will try to communicate to you in your language.

More good news, my work is now available at the Museum Store at Williams College of Art, in Williamstown, MA. They have taken 14 pieces of mine, and it's the only place where you'll find my eye art available, besides Etsy. I am truly honored that the leading liberal arts college in the US, would want my work. If I could get more pieces out, I would take them to other museum stores, but I can only create so much.
I have been published nationally, in Step By Step Wire Jewelry Magazine, by Interweave Press. Be sure to look up the article on my Sterling Silver Woven Wire Twist Bracelet, in the December/January 2011 issue!!
I use a variety of mediums, but mostly work with Sterling Silver, Cubic Zirconia and Copper Core Wire with an enamel overlay. My lastest and most popular work is designing the evil eye series. Creepy, scary and most powerful I handcraft my pieces, one at a time, by using techniques of weaving wire into eyes that shock and delight. Eyes are the window of the soul.
I ship my designs to you in a gift box, ready to share. I send it priority shipping via USPS, so it arrives as quickly as possible.
My work is different and one of a kind. It has beauty and strength that will be remarked upon each time it's worn.
