From the Artisan:Welcome and it's true...you never know what you might find here in my shop. Member of SRA #O18http://www.self-representing-artist.com/I love glass, and all of the lampwork and fused pieces made in my studio are kiln annealed to relieve the stress in the glass. But I also like to venture into other medias...anything from glass painting to metal to egg art and perhaps some window jewelry.

Artisan's Bio:I've been designing for a number of years. In June of 2008, when I couldn't find hanks in any of the stores in my area, I made the comment " I should open my own bead store so I could get what I wanted and needed". And that's what I did. Its a wonderful feeling to go to work and play instead! Its hard to have a bad day when you're surrounded in beautiful colors and doing what you love to do, and that I do!

Artisan's Bio:I am a retired pediatric nurse practitioner. I have been making jewelry for approximately 5 years. Most of my work has been sold through word of mouth. I have recently branched out on the web to get more exposure. I love making jewelry especially when I am trying a new design. I have taken a few formal classes but most of what I have learned has been self taught. I read several beading magazines and I am constantly looking for new jewelry magazines at the library. I love trying out new techniques and experimenting with new stones to see how they come out. I hope you enjoy my jewelry as much as I do making it.

From the Artisan:Most of my jewelry is made using crystals, beads, gemstones and pearls. I will do custom work and love to make grandmother bracelets with birthstones and sports themed jewelry in your favorite teams colors.

Jewelry By Janzia

JewelrybyJanzia's Bio:
Hi, my name is Jeanette Krantz. I originally hail from West Virginia but now call Charlotte, NC home, which I love but will admit to missing the mountains from time to time. I'm a SAHM with two wonderful kids, two dogs, and a very supportive and loving husband.I first became interested in making jewelry when I commented on liking a pair of my neighbors earrings and she told me that her daughter had made them. I was amazed by the idea that you could make your own earrings and a little seed was planted. The next time I went to my local library I checked out every book I could on jewelry making. I read everything I could on the subject but wasn't really spurred to action until I went to a jewelry party (not the handcrafted kind but a company sponsored one). I loved everything I saw but after reading so much about it I kept thinking to myself I could make that. I figured by this point it was time to stop thinking about it and start doing something. I went home and scoured all my books once again and then made my first piece which I gave to my mom for her birthday. After that there was no stopping me.Not one to ever do things halfway I went on a shopping spree and started making more than I could ever give away. I first got the thought to sell my jewelry when my neighbor asked if I had anything to sell because she was looking for a gift for her neice. I sold my first piece that day and at the urging of my family and friends decided to create Jewelry by Janzia and here I am.

From the Artisan: At Jewelry by Janzia you will find an eclectic array of handcrafted jewelry designs from the simple to the sublime. Whether you are looking for some sparkle to wear with your favorite comfy jeans or something to add an extra special touch to that little black dress, Jewelry by Janzia has something to suit every style. So kick up your feet, browse around and indulge, adorn, and enjoy yourself.
