Artisan's Bio:We are a mother/daughter team who share the love of creating.Creating has been in my blood forever. First was sewing clothes for my kids when they were little and decorating the house. Then followed the art of quilting. I love the therapeutic nature of the hand quilting stitch and being snuggled into my finished creation.Then came painting on any surface that didn't move. Our final stop has landed with jewelry. The wealth of beautiful beads and stones that are available gives constant inspiration allowing us to interpret them into fun or delicate and unique creations to accent your wardrobe and home.

Silver River Jewelry

Sonja has some exceptional handmade jewelry in her Artfire shop. http://www.silverriverjewelry.artfire.com/ Fine artisan jewelry made with a variety of techniques including wire wrapping, metal smithing and lapidary (rocks). Elegant, affordable, well made jewelry with a touch of whimsy.

Artisan's Bio:I have a passion for my family, the outdoors and designing jewelry. I am also an avid reader and enjoy being on the water. I love summer and am not so thrilled with winter (this is an issue since I live in Ohio lol!).I love what I do. For me the whole process is fascinating. It is like treasure hunt, from finding the perfect combination of stones or beads, to manipulating the metal with hammer and fire. Digging a stone out of the ground that looks like nothing special only to open it up and find beauty inside. There is something elementally satisfying in that.

So now I will share my over indulgence with you, by selling some of these items in my destash store "GottBeads" here on Artfire.
