We will be closed August 4, 6, 7 and August 14 so we can attend workshops at Art Unraveled to learn new techniques. Then we will create even more unique and original pieces for the gallery. Please feel free to give us a call, if you need to be in the studio during that time and we can make arrangements with you.

Heirloom Necklace Do you have treasures from your Mother, Grandmother, Aunt or maybe a Special Friend just sitting around or hidden away in a drawer that you would like to preserve? Bring them to us and we will design and create a necklace you can cherish and wear. This necklace has buttons from my Mother, tatting from my Grandmother and beads from my favorite Aunt.
Or do you have a picture of a special animal you would like to preserve? To the right is a picture that has been set into a sterling silver frame and then coated with resin and made into a charm. We can do this for you too--just bring in your pictures.

Evolution of Twisted Sisters' Designs:
The name “twisted sisters” evolved during a very casual evening, with two friends drinking wine together practicing their newly learned skill of wire wrapping. There they were, with miles and miles of wire to use in a bracelet pattern, and all they could think of was to just twist all that wire in a ball and forget the whole thing. They looked at each other and laughingly concluded that they were just two “twisted sisters”. That night the bracelets did not become a reality, but the creation of “Twisted Sisters’ Designs” did.
But then “the sisters” realized they needed a new dimension included in their “twistedness”. When they took a Precious Metal Clay class with another friend, they realized that she was the faction they were looking for and invited her to join their partnership. Her creations went in another direction in jewelry making, thereby adding a new dimension to the business. Each sister brings her original designs together to form a common bond. Most of the materials used in each piece are the artists’ creation.
We hope you enjoy perusing our catalog of creations and find the piece that is best suited for you. For more options, come to the studio and see the pieces in person. You will be glad you did!
Debra has expanded her enameling skills by painting copper with special paints and then firing it. The paints she is using allow her to get very vibrant colors, as opposed to watercolor paints that are more subtle. Check the enamel category to see what other pieces she has created with this technique.
Rita has created this mosaic out of memorabilia from her father's dresser drawer collectings. She can create one for you too, if you bring your treasures to the studio. What a great way to remember someone!
This picture shows Mary working on her latest passion--silk scarf painting/dying. Watching how the colors blend into each other is fascinating to her--there is no such thing as having two the same! Come to the studio, or check out the web site for her most current creations.
