Welcome to Art. Life. Love. Like the title implies, this is a small view into my world. I blog about family life, my love of gardening and music, and of course, my love of art jewelry!
My jewelry business, Melismatic Art Jewelry, is my passion!
All of my one-of-a-kind, limited edition, and custom designs are handcrafted solely by me utilizing a wide array of materials and techniques. My current love is metal...sterling, copper, bronze, and brass. I especially love mixing them up with each other and other elements...gemstones, artisan beads, Czech glass, and my new found love, enamels. Most findings, such as ear wires, bails, and clasps, are also handcrafted by me or other artisans...not many mass produced components here!
My artistic journey began many years ago in a small southern town. I am the youngest of five children and we grew up in the country. Our sweet mother made most of our clothes by hand...she also quilted. Our father was a house-painter, but also a farmer and we lived off the land as much as possible. My sisters and I have always been involved in some craft or project for as long as I remember...I think my first endeavor was crocheting which I still love!
Currently, I live in Maryland with my husband and son.
