Get to Know Us..... Debbie Van Pelt - Bead & Bling Creations Where: Oxnard, CA, USA https://www.facebook.com/BriellasBows/ What Inspires You? Nature and raw textiles inspire me. I like looking at objects that provoke a thought process. This often leads to inspiration for a new design piece. Textures and design elements of a previous piece and the incredible designs by my fellow artisans provide inspiration as well.
Melissa Leistikow - Dream Prism Design Where: Tuscon, AZ, USA https://www.etsy.com/shop/DreamPrismDesign https://www.facebook.com/DreamPrismDesign/ What's your favorite trend this season? I love the nautical trend, it started for a festival that is held here in Tucson every year but I just fell in love with it. I also love a lot of bling, I guess that why I work with so many crystals!
Leslie Nichols - KandLNichols Where: Raliegh, MS USA https://www.facebook.com/KandLnichols/ https://www.instagram.com/kyleandleslie/ What inspires you? Written words, song melodies, a field or trees, birds flying, the smell of a flower or hot fruit pie, a favorite dress, memories, skylines or a child's drawing all awaken my senses and pull at me to create. I write, draw, paint and record impressions that weave their way into my jewelry designs. So thankful to be able to record notes on my phone while driving as I see designs for jewelry in every facet of my day. It may take months for a particular impression to be created and then again I can spend hours in my studio working on one design or creating many. The art of creating is whimsical and can be elusive or at other times it is a strong beat that drives everything aside to be realized.
Get to Know Us..... Anika Braxton - Joy-Ani Designs Where: Parkville, MD USA https://www.facebook.com/JoyAniDesigns https://squareup.com/market/joy-ani-designs What inspires you? My favorite fall blend is warm browns, with bright orange. The current change in the atmosphere, from the eclipse to the hurricanes and tornados is what truly inspiring my thought process.
Nancy Clark - Nancys Fancys Jewelry & Finds Where: Burnsville, NC, USA https://www.facebook.com/NancysFancysJewelryAndFinds/ What inspires you? Nature inspires me and my work. You'll see a lot of wood, bone, materials for leaves and flowers and leather or cord in the necklaces, bracelets and earrings. My future plans are to use wire on gemstones.
Bethany Vaughn-Brown - Bohemian Wrap So Beads Where: Albuquerque, NM, USA https://www.facebook.com/bethanysbeads https://www.instagram.com/brownbethany75 What inspires you? Jewelry, I believe, is a way we express ourselves as women. It shows our uniqueness, our personalities, or how we may be feeling. One day we may feel bold and strong and the next day soft and elegant. What a wonderful language we use without a single word. I'm very influenced by my New Mexican surroundings: the earthy colors of the desert and the amazing sunset of the big sky, and the south western style as the various cultures merge. I really enjoy seeing and creating with all of the rich jewel inspired tones. I love iincorporating pearls and gems into the tassel trend for this fall.
