Marlene Vidibor's Etsy shop wildbraidart will focus on her complexly beaded and reconstructed designer jewelry, and fiber art accessories. Marlene's work is born of the many combinations she sees in designing from the materials she has at hand. Frequently buying materials out of purely aesthetic considerations she then formulates designs mentally, sometimes sketching a preliminary idea before sitting down to work with the gemstones, pearls, crystals, glass, metal beads and or fiber to execute the construction which may be accomplished quickly or take a protracted period of time.

The image above is a case in point of her usual design tactics. The image which a detail of a wall hanging called Desert Winds came to the artist from the colors which are crocheted around spiral pieces which always start her fiber pieces and often her jewelry as well. The hanging which is in private collection, has shells and other found items attached to it. The shells are a reference to the fact that deserts are now what used to be seas.

Customers frequently present Marlene with charms and trinkets they've collected over the years to construct new pieces for them. One such buyer gave her enough pieces to construct 7 necklaces which she wears on a rotation basis and will be a planned inhertiance for her children. These necklaces included one with Mexican mask pins and other silver jewelry from a beloved aunt; farm and other animals; girl scout and other memorabilia from childhood and one necklace made of all the customers relgious charms from her girlhood times. These necklaces are shown on Marlene's website: wildbraidart.com.

Please feel free to contact Marlene with requests for information about custom made jewelry. Prices for custom made pieces will generally range from $100-$500 per piece. Simpler pieces may be less expensive.

Other items that Marlene specializes in are memory wire necklaces and bracelets with different charm themes also know as story bracelets. From time to time some will show up here in her Etsy store.
