Can I introduce someone special to you?

Her name is Mary Anne (Why do I always fall in love with Mary Anne's?) and her etsy username is.....

Her jewelry is like none other I have seen.

Copper Patina Velvet Necklace

A mix of fantasy and stunning texture.

Amethyst Velvet Choker

The detail each unique piece has is astonishing.
She states in her profile that her first inspiration is where she lives, The Azores, Tolkien's middle earth.
She has lived there for 20 years and often uses lava stone in her pieces, symbolic of the volcanic island.
I desperately want Mary Anne to become involved in Art Bead Scene challenges.
But I also want to go to her house and have tea and cookies.
Not only does she create jewelry but she also .....
GASP!
weaves throws and shawls!


SOOOO perfect, this one is called The Woods and I think I need it for my bedroom.


The piece above is a hand made tile pendant of Santanne, ST Anne, reading to Mary.
Her jewelry comes in these amazing pouches that she calls Middle Earth's Precious Pouch.


Oh, Lord, I want one so bad.
Please visit Mary Anne at her blog and make her feel as welcome as you all did me, when I first joined in the Art Bead Scene.

  8. yeah, this gal is CRAZY original- she makes flowers spring from moss growing on rocks. She makes molten lava push out of lava beads... and those crusty ceramic tiles which are a transfer image of crusty tiles on polymer which has been shaped into crusty tiles? and then my mind exploded.
