I'm Phyllis Stice and typically of most of us who discover the wonderful world of beads, I am thoroughly smitten with every aspect of this lovely craft. To my great pleasure, I find there is an endless supply of jewelry-making materials from around the world. Here I use new and vintage glass, precious and semi-precious stones; nylons, silks and satins; base and precious metals; lucite, and even plain old plastic. They all have their special textures; their distinctive feel in the hand and against the skin. I make pieces to glow in candlelight or flash in bright sunlight; pieces that seem to float around the neck. I want my customers to be gorgeously adorned with my designs, which can range from the very simple to the somewhat fantastic. Whether choosing gemstones, plastics, vintage beads, or fine Czech glass and Austrian crystals, I truly enjoy creating a little symphony of elements resulting in unusual things of beauty, inspiration, and charm. If there is a wedding in your family's or friend's future, I can help you with personalized jewelry for the bride and all her attendants. I can even design for the menfolk involved. And finally, you may have old or broken jewelry that you no longer wear - outdated chains, beads, pearls, loose charms, pendants, or even family heirlooms that you can't bring yourself to get rid of but don't know what to do with - it's possible that those items can be "repurposed." In other words, I may be able to take your old but treasured bits and pieces and make them into a one-of-a-kind piece you will truly enjoy wearing again. I welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and deliver to you fine, hand-assembled designs to enhance your every activity, whether you choose to wear them to work, to the baseball game, or on that special night out. Please Enjoy!
