I use a broad range of supplies to craft a unique jewelry collection that doesn't fit into a single artistic genre. MDsparks perfectly reflects my short attention span and sporadic aesthetic taste. I love to source materials from estate sales or hidden corners in consignment shops. Old vintage watch movements and Victorian brass stampings are common elements in my pieces and allow me to relive a childhood obsession with fantasy novels. I often embellish brass lockets because as a child I coveted my grandmothers impressive trinket/costume jewelry collection. I've honed an ability to work with wire and enjoy using it to wrap around pearls, stones and beads. Nothing is more satisfying than making a piece of jewelry that creates a bit of excitement in someone else. See more here! Monica will be joining us Dec 11-13
