Ling-Yen Designs

“I define jewelry as creations, which are useful, artistic, symbolic, identifying, and an expression of personal ideas. In my earring line, some of the motifs I use are leaves, birds, and windows. When these elements and others are integrated into a piece, they can represent new beginnings, changes, hope, and further growth in ones self. The materials that I enjoy using most are sterling silver, copper, gold, pearls, and semiprecious stones. My intention for each one-of-a-kind piece is that it is clean looking, distinctive, and artistically rendered.”  –Ling-Yen Designs on Etsy HERE

For laughter is one of the most sacred sounds and one of life’s most important lessons” -Robin Senour of Sacred Laughter  Shop her Etsy HERE

Toni Seymour

Kathy, of Sophisticated Beads; blends colors together into a unique piece of wearable art that manifests in soft and luscious hand beaded art jewelry and beaded scarves. Find them here www.sophisticated-beads.com

“I first thought I wanted to do tapestry weaving. But as I continued on this journey I found my passion was more in creating ‘functional art’. All unique designs are my very own. In 2009 I was diagnosed with a non-malignant brain tumor. After my first surgery, I knew all would be well when I woke up and found myself designing rugs in my head. My second surgery permanently closed my eyelid on the right eye. I am now a one-eyed weaver. Life is a journey of living and dying, breaking and healing, losing and finding. I found my way back to my passion, weaving.” – Toni Seymour
