Her ART of Stone is my happy place. I love helping people reclaim and enjoy adorning themselves comfortably and with meaning, especially those with physical challenges and metal allergies.
I've been crafting jewelry of various media for over 30 years [I know, I know, I'm dating myself here 8-) ]. My favorite media are stone beads and beads of natural materials, like freshwater pearls, bone, crystal, wood and metal. Finding harmonious ways to string them so that they are comfortable, aesthetically pleasing, and secure brings me a great deal of enjoyment and pleasure, and I want to share that with as many others as possible!
My pieces range from necklaces [many are one-of-a-kind], earrings, and bracelets, to anklets, ear cuffs and braid decorations. I've even made a freshwater pearl necklace for a lovely elderly southern-belle pup!
Right now, I'm learning to wire wrap ear cuffs and rings, and I'm figuring out how to make my own necklace findings from titanium for my clients with metal allergies.
In the spirit of helping people fully enjoy their jewelry, I can do some repairs and adjustments, and I also restring and re-knot pearls.
I am currently located in the Denver area of Colorado, USA. I do travel to present my pieces at markets and to clients directly [ yes, I do house calls 8-) ].
