I have been making lampwork beads for four years. My journey into glass art began simply with a class just to see how the glass beads I was using in my jewelry designs were made. One flicker of the flame and drop of the molten glass onto the mandrel and I was hooked. The fluidity […]
Thinking back, I realize that making jewelry has always been with me, even if vicariously, through my mother and dad. I was very young during the shortage of nice jewelry in WWII, and my mother made jewelry from seashells. I still have a few of those pieces. They were very unique and she sold […]
Maille armour is the oldest known form of metal armouring in the world. Carbon dating places early celtic examples at 2000 years old. Samples of surviving Etruscan maille may be 3000 years old. Staggering to think that you’re engaging in a practice virtually unchanged since 1000 B.C.E isn’t it? In most of the world, that’s […]
UnaTiaEspecial is in honor of my beautiful nieces, Alexis and Jennifer and my nephew, Kevin. They are the light of my life and I wish I could see them more often. My brother is in the army and currently stationed at Fort Riley, Kansas. I also love being a Tia to my best friend’s son. […]
In trying to tap the creative gene I feel I must have inherited from my Mom (the painter) I’ve tried several different crafts: knitting, basket weaving, drawing, water color painting, cross stitch & embroidery, quilting, stained glass, mosaics, and more.

My name is Robin, I’m a mother of 2 young boys, ages 5 and 12, living at the Jersey shore. I work in many areas of art and craft, including drawing, painting, photography, knitting and jewelry making to name a few. Years ago, I sold my jewelry and hand painted shirts in a small boutique […]
The Helmrich Family is a creative bunch! They have taken the Buy Handmade Pledge, and love to make ALL their gifts for each other. LEAH, now 16, began making jewelry in 2005 after a fellow RV’ing friend showed her a few of the basics. She took right to it and loved making jewelry for herself, […]
Stay at home mother of 3, addicted to creating jewelry. Many years ago, maybe 15 years ago, my best friend and I tried making jewelry. I dabbled in creating a few pieces of jewelry, being self taught, I lost interest in it because I didn’t think my stuff was good so I didn’t pursue it. […]
