ABOUT

Creating jewelry is my passion. I've been making new things out of old things for as long as I can remember, and my style and skill have evolved over the years as I taught myself how to create the kind of jewelry I wanted to wear. I’m inspired by vintage pieces from kitschy to classic, and by all things quirky, edgy, and unusual. I love mixing old and new styles, juxtaposing different eras together in one piece of jewelry, and incorporating found objects to create one of a kind pieces of wearable art. One of my favorite things about selling my work is that people come back to me at festivals year after year, telling me that they wear my jewelry all the time and that whenever they do, people approach them and comment on it. The idea that something I created can become a part of someone’s daily life, and a treasured piece that makes them feel good when they wear it, is something that never, ever gets old. My pieces are one of a kind, made with a vast collection of materials, including glass, sterling silver, crystal, semi-precious stones, vintage pieces, and interesting found objects. You can find my collections online at www.imaginarygirl.etsy.com, where I also sell unique vintage clothing and handbags. You can also see all my photos and fun stuff on my Facebook page, at www.facebook.com/imaginarygirljewelry.
