Head on over to either of my Etsy shops, Nature Inspires or Woodland Bridal, for 15% off your entire order now until May 29th! I'm relocating (to another town in VT) at the end of the month and need to clear out some inventory! The new studio will be even better : )
 
 
I'll be making more wire wrapped gemstone jewelry from now on. It is a fun technique (though it can be a bit difficult when working with gemstones that are delicatedly drilled!) and I recently incorporated the process of giving the sterling wire an oxidized patina and then polishing to bring out the highlights (as seen in the earrings below). I truly love the effect, and hope you do too! Visit the shop to see more...
 
 
I'm excited to say that I've been creating jewelry that has customizable color options lately! Earrings and necklaces like the ones below make great bridemaid gifts and I can make them in just about any color you like. Use your wedding colors, or use different colors for each bridesmaid for a truly customized gift!
Mix and match...
want pearls on your key charm necklace
instead of crystals? Totally doable!

    About Me

    I started making hair crowns after I was married in August, 2011 when I made one for my own wedding. I fell in love with the materials and the process. I design, make, model, photograph and ship each item that leaves my home studio.

    I started my first Etsy shop, Nature Inspires (jewelry), in 2010 and then opened the Woodland Bridal shop in September, 2011. Until recently, these were both part-time endeavors, but I am now attempting to be a full-time flower crown & jewelry artist. I also run Sweet Violet Bride - a nature inspired wedding blog.

    Fun Facts:

    I grew up in a family of visual artists, and being creative is as necessary as breathing to me.
    I spent my college days hiking in the White Mountains of New Hampshire and then
    spent a few years as a glacier guide, naturalist and trail guide in Juneau, Alaska, where my love of nature flourished. I also have an MFA in Creative Writing and currently live in Vermont with my husband and two cats, Luke and Leia.
