5 out of 5 starsThis beauty has a hint of sparkle in regular lighting. And when you shine a light directly on it, suddenly, it's full of green little twinkles.

About LionessElise
I make jewelry and shiny things that make people want to write.
Welcome! I'm Elise, also called Lioness, and making these one-of-a-kind shinies is what I do. It's also what got me a rather unusual World Fantasy Award nomination in 2009. I love making art that inspires other people to make art, especially word-art. (That way there's more for me to read. Win!)
I make all the jewelry by hand. Mostly I describe myself as a metal-bender. I work with sterling silver or gold filled wire in a variety of gauges. The beads come to me from all over the world, and some of them have stories as well.
Whenever someone writes something sparked in some way by the shinies I make, it's such a delight and an honor. I hope that they inspire you, whether it's to write a poem or story or essay, to seek out something wonderful to read, to encourage creativity in others, or just to move through your day wearing something that makes you glad.
Oh. If you want a testimonial, I asked Neil Gaiman for one once, and he said, "Elise Matthesen is my favourite jewellery maker." So there ya go. (Thanks, Neil!)
(Some have wondered why it may take from three to five business days to ship. I'm a disabled artist. I have a good life, but sometimes I'm moving pretty slowly, depending on what this week's challenges are. There's a reason I have snail sculptures on the shelf here to look at for encouragement. I'll do the best I can; your understanding is appreciated.)
