About Us
I recently have changed directions in my artistic career, and am now concentrating on anodized aluminum as my favorite medium to work with. The colors and textures excite me, and the ability to use wire maximizes my creative energy. I can also incorporate my love of beads and other materials in my creations, making truly unique and interesting pieces. I like to think of them as works of art that you wear, to be enjoyed by yourself and your friends. Take a tour on my journey of designs - I'm sure you'll find something to whet your appetite.
New to the fold - I recently took a jewelry making class (I've only been making jewelry for the past ten years, I figured it's about time I learned all the things I was doing wrong...) and I learned a ton of new techniques. I love the look of hammered metal, so you will start to see me incorporating other metals into my work. I have begun using brass, copper, and sterling silver in some of my pieces, and I have been very happy with the result. Look at my cuff bracelets as an example.
I also took the plunge and started buying sheets of anodized aluminum, and now I can cut my own shapes and designs. I started with pendants and ornaments - both for the tree and the wall. I love the flexibility this offers, and I am thrilled with the outcome. These have been popular at my latest craft shows as well, so I think I am on the right track.
Thanks for taking the time to look at my work!
Some customer comments:
"Oh My Dear Tracy, You landed it perfectly yet again. I received, as I'm sure you can tell, my Prayer Bead Necklace. It arrived today. First, as usual it is beautifully packaged. I open the package and just jumped up and down, as much as I'm capable of, as said "I Love it, I Love it and it's just exactly what I had in mind. As my Daughter-in-law said as soon as she understood why I had lost my mind for a minute is "Tracy Rocks," as so you do. I couldn't be more pleased it I had been beside you picking it all out." JS - Maryland

"My sister received the bracelet last Monday and only takes it off when she sleeps... in fact, her husband noticed that she puts it on before her wedding ring in the morning. She called to tell me how much she loved it on Tuesday because she said that she was too emotional to call on Monday. In short... I think you did an awesome job on it!" JD - Virginia

If you live in the DC area, you can see my work at Bamboozled! off St. Elmo St., in Bethesda; or at a great store in a new location - A Show of Hands, in Alexandria, VA, which has a large selection of my items.
You can also find some of my selections at Elements in Charlevoix, Michigan, Funky Wear in Freehold, NJ, and Plum Crazy in Kitty Hawk and Duck, NC (a great, colorful, fun store that I frequent when in the Outer Banks!). New to the fold are the Fuller Craft Museum in Brockton, MA, the Glass Growers Gallery in Erie, PA, and the Chocolate Moose in Washington, DC. The latest store to place an order is Glad Rags, in Chesteron, Indiana. This looks like a great clothing store for anyone living near Chicago!
Also, if you live in the Richmond area and are interested in learning about my beading parties, suitable for ages 4 through adult, please e-mail me for further information. This is perfect for birthday parties, girl scouts, moms night out, or just if you want to learn how to make bracelets, necklaces and earrings for yourself and for gifts. I supply everything, and do my own clean up!
Thanks again for looking at my work.
