CRAFTY SUPERSTAR PINK GARGOYLE DESIGN CO

Pink Gargoyle creates jewelry that tells a story, reflecting harmony between nature and machinery, uniting fragments lacking a purpose into designs that show that we and the natural world can co-exist beautifully when nurtured together.  I create collage-like pieces that respect the beauty and history of the components.  The look is artful, edgy, and timeless – elegant statement jewelry that can start conversations as more is discovered the closer one looks.

CRAFTY SUPERSTAR - WHATEVER LOLA WANTS LOLA GETS

"My love of creating and design has been with me for awhile. I have created with many different mediums but I find that my love remains with jewelry. I enjoy finding new ways to bring the vintage into my jewelry. Old photos, ephemera, and vintage jewelry parts become part of my pieces. I find that using these elements creates a "story" with each piece. Custom work has been a favorite of mine. A special photo of ones grandmother or great grandmother can be forever put into an heirloom piece of jewelry."

A Watery Inspiration

Angelque Creations

Handwoven beaded wearable art created by Jacquie Champion and inspired by the beautiful and peaceful Sea of Cortez, Baja Sur, Mexico. During my year long adventure sailing down the coast from Vancouver Canada, aboard our sailing vessil Angelique of Vancouver, to the Sea of Cortez we saw many beautiful bays with white sandy beaches abundant with sea life. The Sea of Cortez provided many of the shells incorporated into my designs and inspired the range of colours.

***CRAFTY SUPERSTAR - WHIMSY GIRL BOUTIQUE***

WHIMSY GIRL BOUTIQUE

"I use mostly precious metals such as sterling silver, gold fill, sterling fill, and sterling plated. Most of my jewelry combines precious metal with Swarovski Crystal or semi precious gemstones. I make necklaces, bracelets and earrings using these materials. Price range - $20 to $100
I also make hand poured resin jewelry and pendants. I can shrink most images and add them to a sterling silver recessed jewelry tray and add resin. Price range - $5 to $25
I make Swarovski Crystal embellished 100% all rubber Brazilian flip flops in adult and infant/ toddler/children sizes. price range - $35 to $105 per pair.
I have always loved sparkly things. When I was 8 I earned myself the nickname "the crow" for my crazy ability to spot something sparkling from yards away! I always raced home after a trip to the dentist with my "loot"....a cheap costume ring with a fantastic, glittery crystal...just so that I could pry the crystal out of the setting and add it to my velvet treasure pouch. My love for sparkly things has not diminished, if anything, it's getting stronger! I love designing and creating jewelry and could easily bury myself in my studio for days at a time if everyday life didn't get in the way! Right now I am happily spending part time hours engaging my passion...but my goal for this year is to complete the certification to become a Certified Gemologist"

***CRAFTY SUPERSTAR - CREATIONS BY ULI***

CREATIONS BY ULI
Uli has been creating things with her hands all her life. She started designing and creating jewelry when her older daughter was about 4 years old and was interested in playing with some beads. Uli started playing with those beads as well and soon got hooked. About six years ago, she purchased her first chainmaille kit just to experiment and creating chainmaille grew from an interest into a passion. Aside from selling at local craft shows and art markets, she sells her items in her Etsy shop (http://www.creationsbyuli.etsy.com/) and enjoys meeting so many customers all across the world. When she's not creating jewelry, she tries to balance her time between being a Mom of two very busy young children, a busy work schedule, playing in her sewing room, with knitting needles in hand or spinning yarn at her spinning wheel. You can find her Facebook page at: http://www.facebook.com/creationsbyuli. On Twitter as mommyknits or at her web site at http://www.creationsbyuli.ca/

***CRAFTY SUPERSTAR - ELAGAINCE***

ELAGAINCE

Katelyn Anderson - "In making this jewelry I recycle antique sterling silver cutlery. Each piece is completely unique, handmade one at a time. The variety ranges from dinner forks smoothly curled around semi-precious stones made into pendants and bracelets to more simple designes of demitasse spoons flattened and shaped into rings. The original pattern of the cutlery is always showcased and always makes for a stunning, one of a kind piece of jewelry. The price of these pieces ranges anywhere from $40 to $135."
