nspired by the shape and color of a stone, or the luminous beauty of a piece of stained glass, each amulet is crafted entirely by hand out of resin-based clay. Using very small tools, I detail each piece with scrollwork and florentine patterns.

After the piece is low-temperature fired, I hand paint the amulet with up to four different finishes, to achieve an aged patina. The amulet is then fired once again. Lastly, they are handbeaded with glass, gemstones, wooden beads; strung on waxed linen, or hung from an antiqued chain.

Resin amulets are filled with the calming fragrance of Amber and Frankincense; glass vessels are to be filled with sand from your last vacation, moss, tiny rose-buds, or just the thorns!

The individuality of each necklace is something that I strive for, and I hope, adds to their look of mystery and romance.

I welcome any questions or comments that you may have about custom work, or design ideas.
