The Crafty Turtle: About Us

What's the first thing we think of when designing our jewelry? Color. Color uplifts your mood, energizes you and is even said to be healing and therapeutic. We are surrounded and influenced by colors everyday. We incorporate them directly into our designs. For instance, warm colors remind us of Fall, cool colors embrace the Winter chill, and bright and bold colors scream Spring and Summer. We design everything from Southwestern inspired, to Elegant and Traditional, to fun and funky bead work!
Quality is very important to us and we will not put a finished piece up for sale until we are absolutely sure it meets our standards. We also create custom designed orders. Dont hesitate to contact us if you have something special in mind.

After spending over twenty years in the art industry, including traditional and graphic design, we got bit by the beading bug. It all started when we took a jewelry making class and we never looked back. Now, five years later we are enjoying meeting new customers and friends that love handmade.We are always trying new things. Right now my boyfriend is trying his hand at dream catchers. Look for them soon!

In addition to jewelry making we love painting, drawing, photography, music, hiking, football, travel, and HBO shows such as True Blood and Game of Thrones.

We are so excited that we have a place to share our interests and hope you check our website. Thanks for stopping by....
