I make beautiful
handcrafted one-off wire sculpted jewellery as Moonbeemz Designs. I started
making jewellery many years ago, and concentrated mostly on gemstone beads. As an
astrologer I found that the
planetary energies I was teaching and writing about, also had a connection
with natural crystals and gemstones and I developed a love of them. There is
something so satisfying making beautiful items from nature's treasures.
I wanted to present
them as best I could, so I learned how to wire wrap with sterling and 14k
gold filled wire. It was a fun process and I found the best thing to do was
to let the gemstone itself dictate the direction the wire would take. This
had some really unusual results and each and every one I make is a surprise
and delight. Now I have incorporated "weaving" wire as well, and the results
are far beyond my expectations, lovely. These pendants will last a lifetime
with basic care and I feel so happy when they find their new homes.
I lived on the
beautiful south east coast of Australia for some time and have used some of the natural
sea glass from the ocean there in my work. I now am back in Melbourne.
Blessings,
Sue
