The same elements that drew me to Interior Design – play of colour, texture, balance etc. also draw me to jewelry making. My pieces reveal a sense of whimsy that tickles my imagination.

Cora vanVugt

In my weaving, I prefer to work with natural fibres: wool, linen, cotton, silk, and combinations of these. I have a love of fibre and the intricacy of structures. Years ago, I found this wonderful quote that expresses how I feel about weaving:"Handweaving as a means of production is not justified. But if we place it in the field of art, it needs no other justification than its own existence."To create something beautiful satisfies my soul.

Jessie Gussak - Jersey Lovey

Jessie Gussack--owner and creator of Jersey Lovey. I am a work at home mom with a love for quilting--the Jersey Lovey was born when I wanted something fun to wear that I could make. Then everyone wanted one... I have been quilting for almost two years and making Jersey Loveys for less than a year. I love working with fabrics and making both the quilts and the scarves give me a great range of fabrics to work with. I teach the occasional quilting workshop and complete quilting commissions. The scarves are a great distraction and are fun to make.

Anna K

"Jewellery is my latest creative expression. The materials such as crystals, pearls , assorted beads, silver and gold are so beautiful, they inspire me to create sculptured earrings, colourful bracelets and pendants that glitter. There is plenty of attention to detail and co-ordination to the patterns and arrangement of each finished piece. Yet, the joy of it all is in wearing the jewellery."

Debra Jeffries - Debra's Divine Designs

With my Butterfly Wing Jewelry, you will find a large selection of unique designs of nature using butterflies purchased from a licensed dried bug supplier. Many of my pieces are used from specimens that are broken that collectors can't utilize in their collections which gives me a great opportunity to design wonderful creations with them and share their beauty. It also allows me to share their plight that these special creatures go through and help discuss conservation efforts with anyone who asks. Every item I make is made with the finest materials and utmost artistic integrity. All my Jewelry Pieces are Original, One-of-a-Kind Designs and created by myself in my London Ontario Studio.

The enjoyment I receive from revamping memorabilia and recyclables into practicalities is a challenge as fulfilling as creating anew. my work is anywhere from practical to zany. Jeanne - Marie
