I work with a medley of mediums to make jewelry. I create a diverse range of body art to give the client a variety of opportunities to experience the beauty and satisfaction that can come from body ornamentation. My favorite medium to use is polymer clay. It allows me to make dramatic statement pieces that are wearable art. Many of these pieces incorporate beads that I have also handcrafted. These are my favorite pieces of jewelry to create. These pieces require a good deal of confidence to wear by the owner because they will wear you if you don't wear it like you "own it". These pieces have attitude! I also make pieces that are more conservative and whisper confidence.

No two are exactly alike. Touching encouraged! Scarves are knit on large needles which makes them soft and bulky; perfect for any climate. Leftover lengths of yarn are then used to create unique multi-colored "recycled wraps."

Grand Glimmers by Linda Grandstaff
I am a Graphic Designer by profession and a jewelry artist by passion. I incorporate various metals including copper, sterling silver (.925) and fine silver (.999) in my pieces. I also use semi-precious gemstones in some of my pieces. I like to create custom jewelry that appeals and is affordable to many individuals. My jewelry is an eclectic mix of Modern (domed rings) to Victorian (filigree) designs. All designs are hand fabricated by me and I welcome commissions. I try to create unusual designs that stand out from the crowd but are very affordable at $50.00 and up.

Each bag and each block set is unique and they're all cool. Even better, the sets are only $15 each and the profits will be donated to APPLE. APPLE is a small nonprofit dedicated to using community outreach and education to end child slavery in fishing villages in Lake Volta in Ghana.
