Rocky CreekGems ArtFire Artisan

Artisan Biography for RockyCreekGems

Rocky Creek Gems and Gifts is named for the little creek that runs through the 86 acres of our family property just outside La Grange, Texas.

I have been making things for as long as I can remember. I'm not a "single-craft" person! I enjoy working with gemstones, beadwork, knitting, crocheting, quilting, sewing, embroidery--you name it! As a former middle school science teacher, I particularly love making use of unusual items.

I am the author of two wildcrafting booklets available through Texas Parks

Alisuns Too ArtFire Artisan

Today and tomorrow I am promoting a wonderful artisan from Art Fire. She has some very wonderful pieces on her site...please take a peek.

Artisan's Bio:
My main focus at the moment is making jewelry. I've always loved jewelry and I hope to learn more from all of the talented artists on ArtFire. But it's not always been my creative outlet. I write, edit, knit, crochet, needlepoint, and embroider by hand. I have many items that can be sold in supplies and many that I just couldn't resist making that will end up in this studio.
Keep coming back for the studio will change often.

From the Artisan:
AlisunsToo is the store where in order to give good homes to unused supplies and vintage pieces (some were made 30 years ago) you Always Get Too For Won.
Here is the simple Too rule. Buy an item. Shop for another item OR ITEMS that equal the purchase price. Pay the shipping price ONLY if it weighs more than 13 oz.
That's it. Have fun shopping!
This is where you will find all my destash, and stuff that doesn't fit in my Alisun's Custom Crafted Jewelry store (www.alisuns.artfire.com).
Things will never be the same here, and I can't promise that I can recreate some of the things I've listed.
Have fun browsing!

Artisan's Bio:
We are a mother/daughter team who share the love of creating.

Creating has been in my blood forever. First was sewing clothes for my kids when they were little and decorating the house. Then followed the art of quilting. I love the therapeutic nature of the hand quilting stitch and being snuggled into my finished creation.

Then came painting on any surface that didn't move. Our final stop has landed with jewelry. The wealth of beautiful beads and stones that are available gives constant inspiration allowing us to interpret them into fun or delicate and unique creations to accent your wardrobe and home.
