About Me

My photo
Born to artisan parents I grew up surrounded by the beauty of art & nature. My father an artist mostly working with pencil & charcoal. My mother a myriad artist some what like myself. They taught me how to appreciate the simple things in life. I'm a self-taught mixed metal jewelry artisan. Lost & searching in my late 20's I stumbled on what is now my passion... designing. Over the past six years my designs have evolved from simple bead stinging to "One of a Kind" mixed metal wearable art. I do not design to seek perfection for everything in life, even beauty has a flaw. Flaws are what sets us apart from everything & gives us our own uniqueness. The flaws I purposely overlook in each piece I create add to the beauty & depth of each design.

Reduce...Reuse...RECYCLE & make lots of beautiful jewelry.

Recycled Sterling Silver & Sea Glass Quote Necklace "Beauty...comes from the soul".

This necklace caught the eye of an Atlanta business owner.

I was recently contacted by one of the owners of  "Re-Inspiration Store" a store located in Atlanta. It specializes in selling recycled recreated items. I've been asked if I'd like to do wholesale business w/them. I am very estatic that I have the opportunity to finally get my work out there.... beyond an art show. At present I'm eagerly awaiting to hear from them again. Check out the store @ http://www.reinspirationstore.com/

About this necklace:

This was an un-sketched design, it is a design that just took it's shape as I went along. The hand stamped charms are recycled from my scraps or mistakes I make. I do not shape my charms, I allow the hot liquid Sterling Silver to shape itself giving me organic shaped charms. Genuine Sea Glass (which I aquired myself) is wrapped in Sterling Silver & recycled White Gold w/a diamond is set center. These three charms hang simply from a Stainless Steel ball chain (which I buy from a military supply company) which has Sterling Silver ends & Lobster clasp.
