Welcome to my shop, and thank you for your interest! I'm an avid artist and hobbyist, outdoors person, rockhound, & jewelry artist who lives in the lovely state of Montana. I am awed by the treasures our Creator has hidden all around me, waiting to be found, and I take joy in participating in His creative process by enhancing their natural beauty with unique settings of hand-sculpted wire. Take Courage designs is much more than a play on my last name. I believe in "paying it forward", too; when you purchase a piece of unique jewelry from me, I will donate 10% of the profit from every purchase to Compassion International- a top rated charity that works to alleviate hunger and suffering in children around the world.
