Judy, owner and designer of Wellspring Creations, from Northern California, shows her love for taking a straight piece of wire and turning it into unique necklaces, bracelets,earrings and rings. "With wire and a lovely stone, my imagination simply blooms and I get to play with symmetry, asymmetry, and geometric design. I find unusual stones; sometimes beads (with a drilled hole) or cabochons (a flattened, polished stone with no hole) and wrap them so that they are secure and the setting shows off the stone, rather than overwhelms it. I prefer using natural stones and high quality wire, mostly sterling silver, but often work with fine (nearly pure) silver, copper, and 14K gold filled wire. I try to make every piece an heirloom." Her designs ship internationally so everyone can enjoy one of her beautiful pieces of work!Judy is offering a free handcrafted gift with any purchase from her Etsy shop during the week of January 25-31, 2010.
