- I started creating jewelry in 2004 when my boyfriend, Ted, introduced me to the art of Chainmaille. We had stopped by a little shop in Helen, GA that sold Chainmaille Armor. Ted made a comment about wanting a chainmaille bracelet, so upon our return home, I set out on a journey to find everything I'd need to make one myself. From that moment on, I was hooked, and it's been non-stop ever since.
I create chainmaille in Sterling Silver, Argentium Silver, Gold Filled, Rose Gold Filled, Brass and Stainless Steel but do design some jewelry using Semi Precious Stones and hand crafted Polymer Clay or Lampwork beads.
To add to the jewelry addiction, in 2006, Ted and I started working with Polymer Clay on glass. Actually Polymer Clay can go on just about anything, but I prefer glass for right now. It's a very time consuming art, but the finished pieces are absolutely beautiful.
I do welcome custom work for Chainmaille and Polymer Clay pieces. Please contact me through Etsy or post here on my blog if you have any questions.
