Featured Artist – Dreamriver Designs

Debbie Downs, DreamRiver Designs, owner and creator, lives on a small farm in Cannon Falls, Minnesota with her husband, two children, and Heritage Livestock breeds, Dexter Cattle and Olde English Babydoll Sheep.
Designing jewelry was a long forgotten childhood dream that is finally being realized and brought to fruition. I love the feel of the metals, and the fluidity of movement that the chain maille pieces have. Maille pieces bring to mind a more chivalrous time, full of fantasy and Knights. Each of the pieces are created from one single ring that is woven and entwined with others using ancient patterns & techniques. Wire wrapping of minerals and crystals allows them to be worn as pendants. I try to feel what the stone ‘is’ and wrap to accentuate its properties and appearance. DreamRiver Design pieces are handcrafted to last a lifetime of wearing and carry a lifetime craftsmanship warranty.
