Custom Creations - Artistic Challenges

I love what I do. I love creating. It's a part of my being, just like my arms or toes - my creativity, need for artistic outlets is a physical part of me. (It may sound odd and artsy-fartsy but that is the best way I can describe this thing I've always known and tried to express...)

This also means I love creating custom pieces! I enjoy the very specific challenge of turning someone's vivid dreams or uncertain desires into the treasured earrings or perfect picture frame. So, go ahead, by all means, ask away!













I recently met a wonderful woman online that was looking for a necklace, bracelet, and earring set. I had picked out the following information from our brief email conversations:

1. I love earth tones, but bright ones...
2. ...I love your works with tumbled stones! They are delectable!
3. I like long earrings.
4. I like your bracelet designs the best...

5. Dangles please me.

6. ...I like shorter necklaces...
7. I like free-formed organic things that have to be touched.

And, this is what I made:

When I shared these images with their potential owner, this is what she had to say:

::jaw falls off:: I am speechless. All I can really tell you is I clicked on the pictures you sent me until I had the necklace with bracelet and the earrings covering both sides of the monitor screen, then I sat there and stared at them for about ten minutes, then again for another 20 minutes... It is quite simply the most beautiful set I have ever seen, EVER, and I am in shock that it belongs to me. Every other thought I'm having about it is coming out as a stutter. I knew I'd love it, but that is... undescribably scrumptious. Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!!!!!!!!!! Can't possibly think of anything else to say! I literally am speechless. And I'm NEVER that, as you may have noticed.... THANKYOU!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!

And, while I'm not sure if a warehouse filled with zillions of my creations to be sold at Zellers and Kmart, Saks or Bloomingdales, a boutique in Martha's Vinyard, or artist to the stars is in my future - I think getting a message like that is an amazing accomplishment.

In The Zone - Hypnotic Favorites from EBSQ

Today has been a very karmic day in the art world for me. No sooner do I send kudos to my fellow artists at WWAO do I find this fabous Treasury on Etsy. And, my bracelet is featured in it! You can view the Treasury by clicking the image until Tuesday, October 2nd.

The Treasury's creator, Kris Jean is a member of EBSQ, WWAO and an excellent artist! Her work is extremely expressive and she is not afraid of bold colors and lines! Please visit her Etsy shop by clicking her banner!

Knock! Knock! Who's There? Fall Colors at EBSQ!!

It really doesn't happen very often, but I am always honored when a member of Etsy chooses a piece of my work for their Treasury. Most recently Kris Jean created a wonderful Treasury that featured some wonderful art and one of my bracelets! Click on the image to view this Treasury until Wednesday!

New Bracelets - Fresh Photographed!

I was actually afraid of making bracelets. Here's my tale of neurosis.

Molten

While everyone asked me to make bracelets and wondered why I didn't, simply put, I didn't want anyone to hate my jewelry. I didn't want anyone to look at my jewelry as a chore, annoying, or having to ask their significant other for help during an argument. See, neurosis.

I have seen too many people curse out their bracelets because they cannot get it on themselves. Or, the clasp ALMOST makes it and then, "d'oh!" it slips out and flips around your wrist and then the swearing starts. I never wanted anyone to curse, hate, look at with disdain - my jewelry. After all, it's a one-of-a-kind piece, made with love and sometimes long hours, that I believe was especially created for the special person that now owns it!

Savory

So, while a very small number of my bracelets use the lobster claw clasp I finally found the "S" clasp which makes one-handed closure so much easier! I feel much better now!

I will be posting the bracelets shown here on Etsy but I am always happy to create custom orders so feel free to contact me at any time!
