My Bio

about me
I am a wife, mother and grandmother. I have always been creative and have pursued different art mediums throughout the years. I am a bit of a rebel ~ very much a non-politically correct individual. I have spoken out on various social topics, but limit them to places where I don't have to use my name and therefore embarrass my husband. Quite honestly I think a creative soul can't be bound by outside influence or restrictions. To be creative one must be able to have a mind that imagines, meanders and dreams.

When an artist puts passion into their creativity, it often leads to striking results! Take a moment to browse through my three shops where you will see a diverse collection of handcrafted, unique, quality jewelry sets to adorn even those with the most discriminating tastes. Browse through the photos and descriptions of my creative style. Jewelry Sets (necklace and earrings sets) are my specialty; all quality made with the finest of materials to fit any budget, style, or special occasion whether it be casual or formal or somewhere in-between. Adornments to reflect your persona. It’s interesting to discover the metaphysical attributes of different stones and how they interact with our mood, physical being and personality. Materials of choice include semi-precious Gemstones, Pearls, Swarovski crystals, Wood, Shells, Sterling Silver, satin and braided cord for Chinese knotting. I also love discovering vintage jewelry to use in my creations.

My shop addresses are:

I am a member of S.R.A.J.D. (Self-Representing Artist Jewelry Designer #0517); . Of course, maintaining other websites where I post my photos and promote my business is essential as well! My list: Tribe, Talantdatabase, IndiePublic, MySpace, Flickr, Facebook, Starvingjewelryartists, HandsonHeaven, CreativeButterfly and others.

What is Networking?

I am a jewelry creator as are thousands (maybe millions) of other people. How do you distinguish yourself from others? Meet as many people with like interests ~ of totally different interests, in order to broaden your base for friendship, communication, and, of course, to promote your wares. It's called networking sometimes as well. I can network for you and vice versa. You gotta love it!

My Blog

I and other Artisan Jewelers are well aware of the fact that in this time of a 'down in the dumps' economy that there isn't enough money to spend on what are considered luxury items. But we also realize that you don't want to forget that loved one on a special occasion. For the woman (or women) in your life ~ your Mother (Mother's Day), your wife (an anniversary), or birthdays, a special one-of-a-kind gift that expresses how much you love them would go a long way in lifting their spirits and ... read more

A friend on Tribe reminded me of how wonderful Spring is and thought I'd repeat what I said:

"When I read your message, all I could think of was the message imprinted on a plate I had for
my eldest daughter when she was little: "Take time to smell the flowers".

We need to step away from our frustrations, anger, loneliness, and overwork and be amazed at our natural surroundings ~
the butterflies flitting about from flower to flower, the hummingbirds taking nourishment from our feed... read more

Gee, I feel neglected so thought maybe I should post a blog and see if I can draw your attention!

I have many new jewelry creations ~ in fact I design and create new jewelry almost daily! I usually post to my Ruby Lane shop: rubylane.com/shops/bjadornments, at least every other day. Used to post every day but I decided that was more often than necessary and I have over 200 items listed as it is! So, go check it out or look on my Tribe photos for latest and maybe the greatest!
