This weeks featured artist is Tiffany, the owner of SAEE. There is some really pretty and creative jewelry in her shop, you must go see! Here are a few of my favorites:
1. Tell us a little about yourself.SAEE are the initials of my four kids! I am a stay at home mom of one teenager, teins, and a boy toddler. Making jewelry is my outlet and my time for ME! I became a stay at home mom due to the fact that my twin girls were born with severe disabilities. They are blind, spastic quad, tube-fed, wheelchair bound and despite everything Dr's told us at birth...they turned five this past April. Me and my husband recently relocated to Tuscaloosa from Vicksburg, MS and we are loving it here!
2. What inspires your creativity the most?
I am inspired by everything I see. My brain is constantly thinking of the next piece of jewelry that it wants me to make. I am inspired sometimes by need...friends come tome and say "Can you take this necklace and this necklace and do this..?". Those pieces are the most fun!
3. What is your most memorable creation, or the one you are most proud of?
That changes as I create. Right now my favorite piece is The Emily Necklace. It was the last piece where after I finished it...I just stared at it and was like "Did I really just make this?".
4. How long have you been creating?
I just started making jewelry a year ago in May. I wanted a necklace with one big pretty stone on a simple chain. Everything I saw in stores was big and chunky...not what I was looking for. So I took my search online where I discovered that the necklace I had envisioned was way out of my price range...so I set about making it for myself.
5. Where did you learn your creating skills?
I have pretty much taugh myself. My mother-in-law taught me how to wire wrap and it just kind of went from there. If I get stumped I can usually find a fellow etsian friendly enough to help me out!

I really like the guitar picks for ears! Both of my brothers are musicians and their wife/girlfriends would love these.
I like Tiffany's creativity, sense of humor and the wide variety in her designs. I really like the Erin necklace. Good job!
