Elaina Louise Studios has been featured in a new book "Steampunk Jewelry" by Spurgeon Vaughn Ratcliffe along with 19 other steampunk artists from around the world. Many of them are here on Etsy. It's available through Amazon.com http://amzn.com/1909051047

My inspiration often comes from stories of other times, places and worlds including antique industrial, steampunk and Victorian genres as well as fairies, mermaids and mythical beings. Hopefully each piece evokes a feeling in you of being in another place. Necklaces, earrings and bracelets for every day and special days.

A few years ago I started making jewelry for myself and family members. As more and more requests have come in from friends of family members I’ve made more pieces. I offer them here for your perusal. While I would love to learn glass blowing one day, at the moment all of my jewelry is designed and made by me from carefully sourced commercially available components.

I’m a full time mother of two children (one with special needs) and part time artist. My passions include designing and making jewelry, quilting, reading, the vocal band Pentatonix and in a former life traveling.

I come from a long line of quilters from both sides of my family and I’m lucky enough to have 2 quilts from great grandmothers on each branch and a quilt from my grandmother. I was able to learn some of my grandmother’s techniques while she was still able to teach them. I've continued the tradition by making quilts for my children to sleep under. I have since branched out into art quilts. Quilting led me to Etsy and jewelry making.
