Get to Know
Check out my new jewelry supply studio! I have a TON to list, so be sure to check back! http://www.artfire.com/users/bijoutifuljewelrysupply I'm actually located in Austin, Texas. Manchaca is where my PO box is. :) If you're an Austinite, you can find me at the Sunday SoCo Artist's Market! Look for the burgundy canopy on the same side of the lot as "Hey, Cupcake!" All of my photos are taken in natural filtered light, not a lightbox. I do my best to be sure that the photos I provide depict the most accurate color on my pieces, but your monitor settings may cause colors to look different on your screen. If you feel your colors may be off, you can calibrate your monitor here: http://epaperpress.com/monitorcal/
Though I am self-taught, all of my jewelry is made with the finest workmanship possible: I personally make every item myself, as if for myself. Working in this way, I can be assured that my creations meet my own personal standards before leaving my hands. All of my raw metals (wire, sheet, etc.) are recycled/reclaimed metal, and I never use any harsh chemicals during the fabrication process. It brings me such pleasure to bring beauty into other people's lives by way of my little creations. I try to reflect this through my work, and it ends up that a bit of my heart goes out with each piece I create. I can't say how happy I am to be here on ArtFire. I've been selling here for 2 years, but during that time I had been focused on another venue. Long story short: ArtFire has changed my life, has all of the seller tools, customer service & and support I've been dreaming of for the past 4 years, and I'm just thrilled to be a part of this growing community. If you're new to ArtFire and have any questions, feel free to ask. If I can't help, I'll at least try and point you in the right direction. :)
