Meet the Designer-Artist
Where do you live?
Windsor, Ontario, Canada
What inspires you as a designer-artist?
My husband Michael was inspired a few years back when we were vacationing in Casa Grande, Arizona. There he saw and bought a couple of magnetic bracelets and ever since has wanted to make his own. So a year ago we ordered some beads, clasps and spacers from Arizona and voila, he hasn't stopped creating since. My husband was 80 years old when he started making the bracelets and self-taught himself through trial and error.
What medium do you work with mostly?
We use hematite beads, magnetic clasps, and accented the pieces with medallions, pendants and spacers. We add bling to what was normally black hematite beaded bracelets.
Why did you become enchanted with this style of jewelry-making?
Michael liked the therapeutic benefits of the magnets, but I said if you are going to make them they have to be pretty, sparkly, attractive or classy.
So that's what we did.
