Bald
Eagle on hemp.
Polymer
beaded necklaces and pins.
I live in Michigan
and have enjoyed tying knots
for a number of years. Recently, I
discovered polymer clay and began utilizing
it in my hemp jewelry. Each polymer clay
picture bead is individually hand crafted,
making it unique. These beads are
used in macrame' hemp necklaces, or strung
on leather cord, according to your preferences.
Some of the more detailed designs may
look painted on in the photographs. Please know
these designs are not painted, but crafted of polymer
as well.
I have
added many new styles of beaded necklaces this year. They have been
added to various new pages in
my examples section.
Necklaces
may also be personalized by including
a vial containing
a grain of rice with your name on it.
Any name or word may be written up
to 9 letters on each side. The vial contains
an oil, magnifying the tiny letters so they
can be seen. The top has a rubber stopper
and is permanently attached to prevent fluid
from leaking. Hand-blown glass vial
shapes available are: test-tube, mushroom, dolphin,
heart, cross, tusk, and anchor.
Hemp name bracelets are very popular and come in a wide
variety of colors. I have also
seen them used as keychains
and nametags for book bags. These hemp bracelets
may also be presented as a gift tag on
that special present!
Patriotic
USA bracelets and cause ribbons have recently been added
to our pages. These are
very popular and readily available in many
sizes. Show your support of our beautiful country!
Hemp
keychains are available in the same styles as the hemp
name bracelets. You may have any name, pet, car, hobby, sport,
etc. spelled out on them. These
are popular in favorite team or school
colors. Metal pewter finish number beads are used
for graduation years.
There are currently 15 examples pages of my hemp
and leather necklaces and bracelets on this site.
Additional photos may be seen on the new
items page. I have added an additional page where you may view some of
my original fine artworks.
Be sure
to check out my craft show schedule. I travel the craft
shows in Michigan and have many more jewelry products
not pictured on this
site. I would love to meet you at one of
these craft shows if you are in the area. There
are also other places where my work can be seen listed on
the awards and honors page.
I am
working on a number of new pages full of information
for fellow craft lovers. These pages
may not be completed for some time, though
I beleive they are beginning to take shape.
They will include features such as tips on getting
started in the arts and crafts business, a free arts
and crafts show directory, arts and crafts books,
and more. I hope you will check them out and let me
know what you think (constructive critisism is welcome).
Thank you,
