.........and sometimes the expression just simply can not be found in department stores!

I have created "things" most of my life; paintings, candles, soaps, clothes, home decor, etc. etc. etc. But jewelry, ahhhh, jewelry, it has always held such a fascination for me. The reward that comes from focusing on bringing forth a small, wearable piece of art that speaks of who we are, right now in life, I cannot find any wear else. Taking raw materials, altering them, manipulating them, experimenting with them and then finding yourself with a tangible talisman that matches what you feel is from the dawn of ages, common ground between cultures and races.

The shop name comes from the fact that I take different medias and mix them together. I like to change direction as my life changes direction; a stay at home mom who embosses on scrapbook paper discovers that polymer clay can be embossed on also. A woman fascinated with history learns that antique and vintage found objects can be altered into stringable goods. A newly trained metal worker finds that a sculptor produces colors that adhere to metal. I am still young at heart and yet humble enough to know that at 44, I will continue to change, grow and develop new skills that translate into wearable art.
And it is an honor to be able to share that with like-minded souls across the globe!

In addition to creating jewelry that I sell locally, I am a single mom who enjoys time with my kids. I limit my time on the computer but I LOVE that other designers like to create jewelry with the same aesthetic as me and I will continue to offer components online as long as I am allowed to do so.
Have a great time creating!
