Something about Me

I love bling, always have. I love nature, gardening and my husband. Creating jewelry with an organic look is my passion.

When I lost my job, it turned out to be a “good thing”. Living in New Hampshire I get to spend my  winters working at my bench forging new pieces and summers I’m a professional gardener and I spend my down time at art fairs selling my creations.

My hand forged designs are created using fine silver, copper and brass to mimic organic forms. I love to reuse and recycle old silver-plate and turn it into new art. Some pieces are mounted with semi-precious stones and fancy beads taken from my very cool collection. I use natural materials to add the patinas. Take all that, combine it with my wild imagination, and I never know what the finished piece will look like! Surprise!!

I found these twin crystals at a rock and mineral swap
and made this little one of a kind beauty

 

Dear Jo,

Your bracelets are so beautiful - I wear them constantly and have become adept at fastening and unfastening them.  When I feel in a jingly mood, I put both of them on one wrist - what a great shiny jumble of silver!  Won't even start on the compliments I get - lots.  You would blush with pride to hear them.

Thank you again for all the wonderful things you have made and which
I enjoy so much.

Sarma
