**** IMPORTANT: With the worldwide Coronavirus situation, most post offices & mail distribution facilities in France are open, but mail is moving at a much, much slower pace. Please be patient. Of course, patterns can be downloaded immediately after purchase. *****
I add new items regularly, so be sure to stop by again.
I have chosen not to offer free shipping because it wouldn’t really be free; the cost would be rolled into the price of the item. I ship worldwide, so the amount I would have to add to the item’s price would be the cost of shipping to the most expensive destination. In other words, a buyer in nearby Spain who buys an item (all items are shipped from my studio in France) would pay the same price as a buyer in the US, even though my cost is less. It’s not fair to the buyers or to me. As it is, I absorb part of the shipping costs because I want to be fair & don’t believe in padding prices just to make a little extra money.
Thank you for understanding.

5 out of 5 starsI've had my eyes on this artist for a while and then, as soon as I saw the RBG bracelet, I knew it was time to order.
I love my bracelet! It fits perfectly and it's such a meaningful item. I was surprised at how easy it was to put on and take off without help. I had never seen a clasp like this. That's probably why I don't wear bracelets.
The whole experience from ordering to receipt of my package was easy, personable and exciting. -

5 out of 5 starsThis is my first time ever to follow a pattern, and it’s also my first time to do a two drop peyote! The pattern is super clear and easy to follow. I added the lace, which is not in the pattern.

5 out of 5 starsABSOLUTELY STUNNING! The picture does not do it justice...so very intricate...I cannot imagine how you were able to accomplish a "two-drop" peyote stitch on this bracelet; must have taken forever...CAN'S WAIT TO WEAR IT..
BEAUTIFUL!!!

I love the view from my studio!
All of my life I have been doing some sort of handcraft, from knitting, crocheting & needlework when I was very young, to the beading I did when I was a teenager. One day in 1999, I walked into the bead store across the street from where I worked, & I was hooked again! I have been making precious, semi-precious and hand beaded jewelry since then, originally intending them for my own use. Friends (strangers, too) kept offering to buy my jewelry right off my body, so I decided to start selling my creations, and now I'm offering my one-of-a-kind pieces here.
My designs are influenced by the places I've lived -- New York City, San Francisco, Kauai & currently Languedoc (France) -- as well as the many places I've traveled across the U.S. & the world. One of my favorite things is exploring different techniques & materials. I am constantly amazed at the wide range of things I can create from simple materials. Come back to my shop often to see what new items I add.
My chain maille design was featured in the March 2012 issue of BeadStyle Magazine & in the book "52 Bracelets" published by Kalmbach in 2012. It was the first chain maille piece I made & it was published in a major magazine! Woo-hoo! :-D
All items are made and kept in a pet-free/smoke-free environment.
