The Craft Star artist feature - Island Girl Expressions

I love simple, and personal, and I found both in The Craft Star shop of 
Cheryl Frazee is the creative force behind the wonderful jewelry designs in this shop.  Cheryl started her love affair with the islands during her first Caribbean cruise, and waits for the day she can be an "Island Girl" herself.  Let's look at some of her fashion designs.
Cheryl created this Flutter By Necklace from PMC, and this is her description of the process.  
Precious Metal Clay (PMC) is made from powdered precious metal combined with an organic binder and water. It can be modeled, molded, or sculpted then when heated to a high temperature, the binder burns away, and the precious metal particles sinter (or fuse) into solid silver. The finished pieces are 99.9% silver after firing. Each piece is handcrafted and is one-of-a-kind.


Cheryl doesn't work in just silver, but also in copper, bronze, beads, and gemstones.
This Bronze Daises Necklace is a perfect piece for a casual look to celebrate spring.  She has a whole collection inspired by her garden, and nature.

She has started a second shop, A Timeless Impression, where she can create very personal pieces of jewelry, like this footprint charm.   She can take a print of your loved ones feet or hand, and create a one-of-a-kind gift.  Beautiful!

You can check out this amazing artist by clicking on any link above, and you can also find Cheryl on facebook and twitter.

See you tomorrow.

Be blessed,
Debbi

Her work is beautiful! I took a class in PMC so I know how tedious it is to create with.
