Get to Know

I am Rose Mast, owner/designer of MastRpieces Unlimited. MastRpieces Unlimited was created back in 1987, when I was a stay-at-home mom with 2 small children. I started crafting as a child, my mother taught me how to crochet. I started making jewelry in 1994, making earrings and beading. In 2001, I began playing around with polymer clay making critters. After seeing beautiful beads with millefiori canework, I was determined to learn how to make the canes. It took me about 2 years to learn, when I found some awesome polymer clay artists online that were a tremendous help. Polymer clay is a great medium to work with, so many different techniques. A few years ago I started teaching myself chainmaille, I make my own jumprings. This year I began working with metal sheets, having fun with the metals. MastRpieces Unlimited can be found at
