How is it that January is here and you have so many things planned, then all of the sudden it is almost May and you've barely begun those plans? Happens to me every year! Thankfully, they always get done, just not as quickly as I would like.
Releasing new designs is a bit of a process and one that I enjoy immensely. Because everything I make is custom made to order, I don't just have blank pieces to mock up for these new designs. In order to have them to test, weigh and photograph for listing for sale, I have to make them from beginning to end. I used to make gifts for my family and friends, but they now all have so many fingerprint and handwriting items, I've run out of recipients. So, I turned to my fabulous client base. I announce the new design phase, then call for volunteers. They send me their fingerprints, handwriting, or whatever I'm asking for, and I use those to make the new designs. They don't necessarily get to choose the item, but they do get a free keepsake. You may be wondering how you can be chosen for that free item? It's simple...follow me on Facebook and join my email list, then you'll see the announcements and can sign up. Slots fill up fast and they are all first come-first serve, so you'll want to check in regularly. I don't have a specific time frame, either. I just announce when I'm feeling like making new designs.
Now, to unveil the new designs!

"Not So Basic Shapes" Collection
The sweet angels are hand cut using no templates, so are completely unique and one of a kind. They are available in 2 sizes. I designed the arrowheads and shield with men in mind, but they are appropriate for everyone. One of my best friends recently lost her father, and they have many memories of hiking and searching for arrowheads in the Colorado mountains. The final shape is similar to the teardrop, with just a slight twist at the top to make it a paisley shape. (Click on the photos for links to order)
The Botanical Collection
I designed these pendants with the nature lovers in mind. I also spent 44 years in Colorado where my favorite tree was the Aspen Tree. (Click on the photos for links to order)
"Island Inspiration" Collection
After visiting the Caribbean island of Antigua many years ago, I fell in love with island life and have ever since dreamed of becoming an "Island Girl". These pendants are inspired by the beautiful beaches and aquatic life in our oceans. (Click on the photos for links to order)
Most of these items can be made using handwriting instead of fingerprints and it's as easy as dropping me a quick email to request your custom order.
