Get to Know
Welcome! Thanks for taking time to get to know me better! The Artisan is the heart beat behind every finished art design. Someone's soul went into each piece of jewelry. So in turn, buying and keeping a piece of Artisan jewelry is like holding a piece of their heart. My business started out like most passions. I love making things with my hands. I began helping out with costumes for a local Easter play. I custom made jewelry for the Egyptian and Roman women in the play. Reading on the history, and learning about gemstones and techniques, I was hooked. Friends encouraged me to learn new designs and techniques of jewelry making to accommodate hard to please clients. I fell in love with jewelry making and learned what women need and want. Blended it with what I love about the craft and learned all I could about everything pertaining to jewelry designing. Everyday is an adventure and lesson. Increasing my knowledge about everything jewelry is my ultimate goal. If I do it, I want to do it well. I am a student, taking lessons from the best in the industry. That is why I guarantee my work. I want my clients to trust what I make will last. If for some reason it doesn't, I replace it! Free. If I don't know how to repair it, or make it, I find out, asking how from the best.
I also run a shop on ArtFire called FairyBerries. I am an actress and singer and you will often find me running in circles all summer dressing up like a fairy and blowing 30 foot long bubbles for kids.
I have since been called a "Wing Master"
I love to cook also. Taught myself how to make a healthy version of fondant for my 5 year old's birthday cake one year. She wanted a Barbie cake. Borrowed a friend's mold cake pan and read all I could. Took forever to make, but it came out beautiful! I know Abby will never forget her cake and the home made gummies we made at her party.

A family Christmas project we endeavored to do. We decided not to use a kit but make a gingerbread house that looked just like our house we just had moved into. We all love this house. Was a 3 day project and the kids look forward to making another gingerbread project again this year. Ã?âEURÃ, Ã?âEURÃ,Â
Used to be a model and have learned much about life through that experience. Now that my husband has cancer and I have Baribari disease, I appreciate life more and hold every moment dear. Priorities have changed and life tends to be more rich than those younger years.
