Salut!!) </em><br /><br /><div><p><strong>I have a few areas of focus for my jewelry:</strong></p><p>Metalworking with sterling silver, brass, copper, nickel silver and bronze.</p><p>Hand-formed fine silver and bronze clay charms and pendants.</p><p>Etched copper and nickel silver charms and pendants.</p><p>Necklaces, earrings, pins and bracelets made with the metals mentioned above and all embellished with beads, pearls, semi-precious stones, Czech glass, handmade lampwork beads and Swarovski crystals. Need a message stamped on metal - no problem! And, throw in a few found objects or treasures from my vintage jewelry stash, and you have an original MaryO Design to call your own.</p><p>One of my favorite things is refashioning old favorites for others . . . For example, if you have a piece of jewelry from years ago, we explore likes and dislikes, and then I incorporate it into an updated one-of-a-kind design, giving the wearer something new and something sentimental at the same time. </p><p>If you have photos, fabric or momentos of any kind that you would like incorporated into a hand-crafted, unique <em>journal necklace</em> or gorgeous <em>locket</em>, that is the most fabulous fun of all! </p><p>Whether you want something for yourself, or looking to have a very, very special gift created, these journal, photo, or message jewelry pieces make a statement and will get noticed!</p><p>During the last few years, I've been so fortunate to have learned from some of the very best jewelry artists in the United States. These incredibly talented teachers include ... Thomas Mann, Annie Morgan, Nina Bagley, Celie Fago, CeCe Wire, Mary Hettmansperger, Jane Wynn, Richard Salley and Susan Lenart Kazmer. </p><p><em><span style="color:#cc0000;">Since the beginning of time, humans have been adorning themselves. And jewelry lets us all show our personality one adornment at a time. Of course, some of us love to "layer it on" and really let our personalities shine!!! </span></em></p><p><em>A bientot! </em><br />Dreaming of Paris and hope to post new photos one day soon,<br />MaryO ... <a href="mailto:maryodesigns@gmail.com">maryodesigns@gmail.com</a></p></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7963899179464438788-4222477030951175934?l=maryodesigns.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MaryO Designshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09737460969585988919noreply@blogger.com0
