Jewelry Artists

Encouraged at a very early age by her mother, Dale "Cougar" Armstrong made a hobby of prospecting and collecting rocks, minerals and fossils. She enjoyed many years of one-on-one training with a variety of well-known artists including old world master Karl Drerup. Nearly thirty years later she became a professional crafter and a nationally recognized jewelry artist who creates beautiful one-of-a-kind pieces of wearable art.

Etsy, my website, symposiums, a boutique in Italy.

Jewelry making is my life.

I start as sketching a piece of wearable, repurposed materials dedicated to signifying a worthy piece of creation

I've sold my designs via word of mouth and

I like making pretty things. It gives me a sense of accomplishment and makes me happy.

I work with copper and silver wire and semiprecious stones and beads. I prefer working mostly with copper lately because it gives so much freedom to experiment and create different designs without being too costly

I never knew that I could or would enjoy creating beautiful pieces of jewelry. Hence, the name given to my jewelry business: Created by Grace Designs.

Over the years I have both donated and sold my work. I have a home studio and open it to the public during the Spring/Summer/Fall months.

I use a variety of metal clay techniques and traditional jewelry making. The Korean keumboo adds the richness of high karat gold.

I sell my one-of-a-kind pieces on etsy! You can find them at bluskyarts.etsy.com.

I plan to attend craft fairs in my area. And of course, my biggest selling is through word of mouth, which I truly appreciate

It's just something that came from within me. I believe my style is a bit unique and

I started making ornaments years ago, got the netting down good then started to change up.

Most of my collections are sold online through Facebook and the rest through artisans fairs.

My designs are available for sale at the Southington Community Cultural Arts Center (SoCCA), a local non-profit.

There are many creative people in the world, and I wanted to make something different. I love working with my hands. You can take

Jewelry-making has gone from hobby to part-time career, but will eventually be full-time. It is another way of helping.

I started to sell on Etsy 7 years ago, but also I created my own website 3 years ago www.ExclusiveCraftForYou.com.

I find I can be inspired by history, culture, mythology, politics and science.

Color drives me. I enjoy finding new beads with great colors and mixing them to create one-of-a-kind pieces of wearable art. I think my style is mostly modern and fresh, and I am most proud of my knitted necklaces. I use lots of color with both gem beads and glass beads to help create eye-catching pieces

I have participated in many exhibits since earning recognition from the Fire Mountain Gems and Beads®.

Art shows have been a wonderful selling opportunity for my designs, choosing the right venue is extremely important

I love to create. I am glad that I am not focused on only one medium, this way

Nature is a huge source of inspiration. I love the Myriad variety of colors and shapes that we possibly cannot even imagine

The role jewelry-making plays in my life is my future. I will follow my dreams and become a successful designer and manufacturer

I usually sell by word-of-mouth. But, several of my designs can be found on my website www.facebook.com/treenarowanart. I list my jewelry, my handmade paper bowls, embellished with beads, my paintings--Most of all, though

I consider myself a versatile creator, because I wanted to explore many options while expressing my love for colors, shapes and sizes.

I love to create bijoux. I work with thread, beads and crystals in different shape and colors. I like to make mainly weaving, embroidery and Soutach jewelry

I have sold through Facebook, Etsy and shows.

As of right now, most of my pieces have been made as gifts for friends/ family, and a few pieces I wear myself. I have sold a few pieces as well, and

I use gears and watch faces from antique watches; I recycle and refurbish antique watches; I give them a second chance.

I created and maintain my own website and an ESTY site and have an additional store site. I also attend many craft shows as a vendor and occasionally enter contests.

Jewelry-making is now part of my life as a part-time hobby. It emotionally takes my mind.

I am a Dutch beadwork hobbyist living in Switzerland and prefer seed bead off-loom weaving, but I also appreciate other techniques (stringing, wirework, etc). Classic and modern, small- to medium-size necklaces with matching ring and earrings using pearls, seed beads, gemstones, cabochons and glass is what I prefer to make

I'm a sculptor by profession and my medium is primarily polymer clay and papier mache. I bead as a hobby in order to wind down and relax.

I am working to link my website to high traffic websites such as Facebook and Pinterest. I am also looking to

Meet Barbara, a designer who finds inspiration in color, materials, and jewelry pieces. She embraces variety, working in many mediums.

I enter contests to boost my creative mood, and also to challenge myself to higher level. I sell my jewelries through.

I sell my artwork at markets and have my earrings in six stores in Asheville, North Carolina.

I own a small shop with beads and findings, and I also sell my works in it and online.

A major part of my business comes from meeting people who see what I'm wearing, and ask about...

I'm inspired by many things. Natural patterns in rock, animals and leaves. I also find inspiration in more manmade treasures such as fractals, petroglyphs, Native-American art, African art, Asian art, artifacts from

For years after I retired, I wrote beginner and intermediate jewelry making tutorials for wire and sheet metal as well as

I have my own website, etsy and all social medias. You can find me at jewelry and artisan shows too.

I sell my finished knitted pieces through der Bauernhof Farm and knitting patterns through Ravelry: https://www.ravelry.com/designers/melinda-baur.

I fell in love with bead embroidery back when I was making dresses for weddings and formal functions.

I love the freedom of knowing many different techniques. I’m also a huge fan of malachite and wanted to try my hand at something monochrome.
