The Friday Give-Away ~ My Lavaliere

http://www.mylavaliere.etsy.com/

Can I just say this woman is a jewelry genious! I absolutely LOVE her style. She is amazing here are a few things I love in the shop:

1. Tell us a little about yourself.

I am currently studying fine arts. I love collecting old things. I find it incredibly satisfying to breathe new life into old objects that would otherwise be considered "junk". I am a huge supporter or upcycling and being a conscience consumer.

2. What inspires you the most?

Nature and history inspire me the most. I love watching or reading about different periods in time and imagining every aspect of what life was like. Natyre is a common theme in my work. I think living in the Chicago area and coping with the winter gives me a greater appreciation for flora and fauna.

3. What is you most memorable creation, or the one you are most proud of?

My Chloe headband would have to be my favorite creation! It was made with 2 silver headbands and a broken vintage brooch. It is all soldered and very strong! It is the first piece I have been able to solder that didn't fall apart!

4. How did you find Etsy and what made you decide to sell on Etsy?

My friend Michelle the metal smith introduced me to Etsy. I have been addicted ever since!

5. How long have you been creating?

My whole life! I remember having a problem with hot gluing acrylic rhinestones to just about everything when I was 5 or 6!
