Thank you for stopping by my store! My name is Lisa Marshall and I live in Maine with my two wonderful little boys, Ryan and Tyler.

My sons are 6 and 8 years old, and are my helpers. They love to help me come up with new designs and color combinations by dumping several trays of different beads all together in a pile, and watching all the lovely colors roll and swirl together. They're not so good at helping with the "clean up" part, though. My boys are my inspiration and the driving force behind my designs. They are my "2 Blue Gems".

I started beading in May of 2004, at the insistence of a friend, who felt I should "give it a try", as I might "like it". I was hooked immediately, and couldn't get my hands on enough beads, findings, thread, wire, and so on. I don't have an alphabet soup of letters after my name, stating that I graduated from some Fine Arts college or other. What I do have, is a tremendous love of beads, baubles and everything shiny and colorful. Everything I know, I taught myself by using online tutorials or just "playing around". Everything in my store is hand-made by me, and with great care and attention to detail and workmanship.

I don't have a particular beading "style", but rather, go where the muses take me. Sometimes, the muses take me on a journey towards Russian-inspired seed bead designs, and other times they lead me to working with precious wires, or polymer clay, or anything else in between.

My most recent artistic journey has led me down the road to the immense versatility and design possibilities of metal clay. Having obtained my Level I Instructor Certification in Art Clay Silver (ACS), I look forward to designing and producing many original, one of a kind, miniature works of art!

Enjoy your stroll through my shop, and feel free to contact me with any questions.

And while you're at it, take a look at my new blog! The address is in my "favorite links". Take a peek and give me your thoughts on my jewelry and input for new pieces!

Thanks, and enjoy your day!

Hi Lisa,
Picked it up from the PO Box today. Love the bracelet! Only wish I had gotten the Shimmer earrings to match at the same time! Thanks again,
-Sandra A., Halifax, VA


Hi Lisa,

Yes, I have received it two days ago and it is wonderful. Thank you for sending it so promptly.

I am looking forward to seeing your latest additions to the site.

I am most happy to endorse such an excellent customer service and impressive selection. Not only was I most satisfied with the quality of the pendant that I have ordered, but I was extremely impressed with the excellent customer service: very prompt shipping/delivery and post-delivery correspondence to ensure that I was happy with the product. I am most pleased with both your selections, prices and services.

Sincerely,

-Miruna T., Culver City, CA


Dearest Lisa,

I LOVE THE JEWELRY....can't wait to order more. Your pictures, while very good and clear do not do the work justice. As a jewlery designer myself, I am proud to wear your work. I have found no mistakes or mis-shapened rings at all. Very professional work.

You should increase your prices, but after I shop!!!

-Mollie H., Galena Park, TX


Hi
I received the bracelet today. It's lovely. The fit is perfect. It goes so well with many other bracelets I have.
thank you

- Kathy H., Rockford, IL


Hi Lisa! When I opened the box to see the earrings I had to catch my breath! What a wonderful color combination, I just love them. Continue with these combination & I might go broke. Thank you so much for doing them. Hope you are doing all right. You are in my thoughts! With kindest regards,

- Pamela L., Baker City, OR
