5 out of 5 starsI am always so amazed by Mairedodd's work. It always seems just made for me. I put it on and immediately felt comfortable and sO pleased by the intention and blessing of this small work of heart. I wear it always now being aware of my crown.

5 out of 5 starsI received the beautiful little book Maire wrote. SO full of love and contemplation. I am savoring it slowly. It came wrapped with such care and love- a rare thing (no plastic!!!). I know I am going to have some beautiful quiet moments with this little book, and for that I am grateful.

i found that the only way for me to speak most honestly, the only way for me to navigate through my own life and connect with others deeply, was to get down to this making of adornment and small metal objects myself from beginning to end.
i love working from raw materials - tools at the ready. i am able to direct the work from beginning to end, finding myself in a beautiful flow where it all comes together. let's not be naive though, there is much in the way of agonizing cognitive participation in the process.
we have lived, yes? and this wear and tear on our hearts and bodies have made us more. just as we develop a personal patina, the metal i work with is treated to different means in order to reflect and honor this process.
this work i do is intentional -
in our present world, feelings of vulnerability are common. i hope that these pieces will make you feel more empowered, will help you move through the trials and discover the joy and love that are ever-present in life if you live with the very rewarding (and terrifyingly) open heart.
within the past year, my offering bowls came to be. gradually evolving in size and design, they are a source of great satisfaction. for as they are my offering to you, you are then able to make offerings of your own.

Owner, Maker
i am a maker who moves through the world seeking connections, whose work is the result of processing thoughts and ideas, who desires to assist you in living a life where the fullest expression of yourself is realized.
Shop policies
be assured that i work in sterling silver, copper, brass, steel... there are no plated metals used... if i were to use it (and i don't) it would be clearly stated... some people are allergic to nickel... if i use it, it is only in places that do not contact skin... some people's chemistry causes a reaction to metal - like the green tint that can be left by copper... i give multiple coats of an environmentally friendly permalac spray (used by sculptors) and a final finish of wax...
please do not hesitate to convo me with any questions... it is always easier to clarify things before a transaction rather then afterwards...
