Happy new year to you and yours - I hope you are well and that your new year is off to a good start. In that spirit: thanks to your generous support, my 2022 #stupidanimalhybrids calendar has been a smash success, enabling me to donate $100 to The Oakville & Milton Humane Society and $100 to The Woodlands Wildlife Sanctuary in Minden, Ontario.

Thank you x a million for your support, I am over the moon knowing so many of you started your year with #stupidanimalhybrids, and that collectively we've been able to make a real difference to the animals that inspire this project!

My designs are my own, and I choose to create one of a kind work. Any textured or patterned elements of my work are hammered, etched or cold-cast from my own handmade moulds, by me, by hand, and as such are not easily reproduced. I do not stamp my work with commercially available stamps, nor do I use commercially made design elements other than sheet metal, wire, bezel wire, sterling silver precious metal clay, chain and clasps/findings. These decisions allow me to make designs that are unique and uniquely powerful, and as such, my designs may not be copied or reproduced in any manner without my explicit consent.
Thanks for visiting, and as always, thanks for shopping and supporting handmade!

5 out of 5 starsFirst, this lovely seller made me feel quite special. Second, I received a pair of one of the most beautiful earrings EVER. The simplicity and line of these earrings speak to their elegance and quality. I could not be happier!! Delivery was as promised, as well. p.s. even with how well made these are, they are lightweight and so easy to wear.

5 out of 5 starsThis calendar is AWESOME. Call me old-fashioned, but I love to have a physical calendar to look at daily. And this calendar might be the best one yet. The art is both beautiful and hilarious, and I'm very much looking forward to seeing what the rest of the months have in store for me! Thanks so much!

* M I G H T & M E T T L E *
A life-long designer, I've discovered that working with metal is my ultimate...
I fell back into the arms of metalwork in 2006 after a long hiatus, and while daydreaming about wearing an utterly kickass crown to my otherwise simple, backyard wedding. I could not find the head-piece I wanted - I would have to make it! Thus, I was introduced to Art Clay silver and it was love at first firing - with my fine arts education grounded in printmaking, ceramics and sculpture, it was a perfect match. Art Clay and print-making techniques allowed me to reproduce my own designs the way I wanted, and offered up faithful and fine reproductions of natural materials and vintage textures. I was smitten. I still am.
I have since branched out and moved away from working with Art Clay, and I now forge and fabricate with sterling silver, semi-precious stones and mixed metals including copper, brass and gold into my jewelry palette. Much of my work is etched with my own hand-drawn designs; I make everything one-of-a-kind.
My inspiration are those brave spirits who have proved their might and their mettle in this life, and it is my honour to create adornments for them.
