Swinging from the Chandeliers..



I've only been making jewelry for about 6 months
I started by taking a class...

 Immediately
I Became Addicted to Making Earrings
Of course I started simple.......
BUT
That Soon Changed


 I couldn't wait any longer for my teacher
So I purchased a base
to make myself "Chandelier" earrings


 Clearly you can see
 I LOVE Silver!
It had five holes but I chose to only use three


 Because...
 I had Found the Coolest
Iridescent Glass Beads
I Just Had to Use!!


They "Reflect Light"
Soooo Beautifully That They 
Change Color
with
 Your Every Movement



These Little Beauties
 I Chose to Flank





The Blue Summer Sky Bead
Took Center Stage
dropping
into....


A Glistening
Antiqued Silver Heart
Giving it Weight & Balance



They lightly move, dangle, swinging around your face
The Reflection of an Early Morning Sky


With Every Experiment
I LOVE the Process
More & More
I've become my own teacher


And Just Think....
I Grew Up Believing I Wasn't Creative
(insert girlish giggles)



See Ya Next Time & Remember....

Pass the LOVE on....

Love & Inspiration



My New Business
Is Named for a Wonderful Place I Adore..
 My Grandmother's Flower Garden





     My Grandmother Lillian was an
Amazing Woman!
 Her Kindness
Creativity & Compassion






 Greatly Influenced Who I Am Today
I Love and Miss Her Tremendously!



  

Growing up
I used to spend hours with her
enveloped by the gardens she created
NOW
even though she is gone,






 many of her flowers still BLOOM today
carrying on her legacy of 
Beauty, Love and a Passion for Life!







My Wish Is....








 That Her Creative Passion
can be seen in what
 I Create








When wearing a piece from my collection
Please Know 
I have Crafted it with the Hope that You might find a
 Beauty & Happiness


like the Gardens of My Grandmother
Brought to My Life


and thus the name
"Jardin de Lillian"
 xoxo
