A sampling of my creations from 2024!
My jewelry designs fall into two categories: Beaded and Upcycled. My beaded jewelry usually features artisan lampwork glass highlighted with an array of quality components. My upcycled jewelry started with game pieces and typewriter keys. You never know what I'll make wearable next. From doll parts to perfume bottles, postage stamps to buttons.
This year, my jewelry collection has expanded to include not only beaded pieces but also a unique range of upcycled designs. Beaded jewelry often showcases intricate artisan lampwork glass complemented by high-quality materials, making each piece a standout. Upcycled jewelry pieces are crafted from unexpected sources such as game pieces, typewriter keys, and even doll parts. This approach not only reduces waste but adds a sense of history and story to each item. The trend of upcycling in jewelry is on the rise, aligning perfectly with the growing interest in sustainable and eco-friendly fashion choices. Shoppers are increasingly drawn to one-of-a-kind pieces that have a story to tell, and my creations embody this sentiment. Whether it’s a necklace that features vintage buttons or earrings made from repurposed perfume bottles, each piece speaks to a commitment to creativity and sustainability. In addition to showcasing these diverse designs, I always encourage fans and customers to share their thoughts and ideas for new creations. Creativity is a community effort, and I love the input that helps inspire my next projects. As the year progresses, stay tuned for more unique pieces that reflect both current trends and timeless style in jewelry making.
