Hail Mary Full of Grace...

This Marian bracelet is packed w powerful prayers; can be used for the seven sorrows as well. Enjoy!

I was very excited to create this bracelet incorporating many of my favorite images of Mary w Jesus and or Mary alone. The perfect number of seven imaged coins on this bracelet also lends itself to be used a sorrowful chaplet. I have fond memories of having the word side of the 'coins' on my design table and a little girl accompanied her mother for a client consult and she just played w the coins figuring out the puzzle. When she realized the words composed the Hail Mary she squealed w delight 'cracking' the code. Enjoy!

This Devotional Bracelet is made with coin (flat round) family imagery/thoughts saint image(s) creative imaging and figure 8 metal work copper wire work. It features copper hand crafted chain. This piece has hand crafted toggle fastenings and findings. This item is decorated with a Blessed Mother Mary.

Back in the Day - with my son...

Flash back - a piece my son designed when he was helping with creating the work. Enjoy!

Agape Gifts started out as stress reliever; alone time for this, at that time, home school mommy! BUT God had a different plan... my little children wanted to spend MORE time with me even after spending the entire day working on school. SOOooo I humbly relented and let them "play" with the wire and stones... turned out to be a blessing. Meeting lots and lots of people as we traveled from shows both as a vendor and to vendors. My son learned about running a business and marketing... both learned creative outlet and designs. Both my children are very artistic, but very differently.

Tomorrow and I will share a young design from my daughter. Enjoy!

Think Spring...

Pink and copper wire ring! Very comfortable! Enjoy!

I was enjoying and exploring the use of square wire ribbons that has multiple use. A technique a learned years back but needed to bring forward for a ring commission. I like the simple-ness of this ring - the wire work quietly stated but the focus on the rectangular faceted pink stone. Good color for upcoming Easter celebration. enjoy!

Family Celebration remembered

Enjoy this family ornament remembering a Grandmother who has gone before us. This is a wonderful way to continued celebrated memories of family members who are not here with us physically but spiritually! This piece was made with polymer clay and copper wire work. There were two ornaments made hence the reason for different wire work. May you rest in peace!
