links to my heart
These
are some of my favorite links. This page is long, long overdue, because
truth be told, I am at the mercy of so many awesome artists and vendors
in order to turn my inspiration into a quality, wearable piece of art.
Many of these links will not be jewelry related - but, an awesome majority
will be links that have helped spurn my inspiration - and many will be
sites that I came upon while researching names for my designs. And oh geez, some are just sites that bring out the girly girl in
me...shopping, food and fun!!!
This
page is in process!
