RustFlower Creations Story
Dear Friends,
I have been having fun in my studio creating playful, elegant, and unique handcrafted jewelry from salvaged and upcycled metals, semi-precious stones, and other treasures.
My designs are inspired by the shapes, textures, and colors of the natural world around me. I love copper, circles, colorful stones, vintage metals, and antique chain.
I bring to my jewlery craft much of the same passion and artisan aesthetics i bring to growing gardens and preparing feasts. A love and enjoyment of the process, from planting the seed, to serving the fruits on the feast table. From cutting out moon shapes with the hole saw to bringing together all the elements in making a finished piece of jewlery.
As many of you know, i have been taking time off work to focus on healing from Lyme's disease, which i am happy to say i have made positive progress with. Before getting sick, i was running a farm to table catering business and growing and running a small CSA program at TreeEater Farm.
Though i am feeling much improved, i still experience a wide range of symptoms, and have erratic energy levels. Taking time off work allowed me to dabble in jewlery making and i came to realize how much i enjoy the craft and decided to make a go of it as a part time business. Being able to work from home doing something creative with flexible hours is my goal. Thus i introduce my new venture and hope you will appreciate what i have been creating.
Please check out my work here and share with family and friends if you feel moved to. If you are looking for a gift, or want something beautiful to celebrate yourself with, i would be honored if you would support my endevour.
