I can't believe Summer is almost over. Where did it go? The school year is fast approaching and soon I will find myself back in my classroom with a new group of students.
I have been working very hard to prepare for my very first craft fair. Details on the fair are below. I am really excited to put my jewelry on display for new people to see. This is a great way to get more exposure, especially during these rough economical times. I am looking forward to seeing past customers as well as meeting new ones! ~Melissa

There will be a lot of new pieces for you to peek at that will not be shown on the website. I will also have 1ampwork bead sets on display for purchase for anyone who wants to create their own jewelry. If you are looking for something specific and don't see it on display, I will be taking custom orders there too.
Why buy from Self Representing Artist?
"A self representing artist has spent a great deal of time perfecting their work. They love their work and want their customers to love it too. The love of the art is what keeps the self representing artist creating. Most self representing artists have quality guarantees. If you have a problem with an item purchased, most artists will work with you to make it right. A self representing artist's reputation for creating and selling quality items is very important to them."

Here are a few examples of my "Mother's Bracelets".
These bracelets are custom made only. Each bracelet is made with sterling silver, Swarovski crystals and one-of-a-kind lampwork beads. Prices will vary depending on the length of the child's name as well as the beads used. If you are interested in a Mother's bracelet, please email me for more information and pricing. I would be more than happy to answer any questions. A special thank you to all who have already ordered one!
