Fun Fakes and Funky Findings
Creative colorful jewelry for the confident woman. These are bold pieces in bright colors and daring design with interesting component combinations. This jewelry is unique and outspoken, much like the women who choose to wear it!
Trends and fashion rules do not apply! Inspiration and instinct are the key creators of these fun to wear pieces.
This jewelry will draw you in by its resonance and vibration. You'll know when a piece is right for you because it will call your name and shake your boots! Hang on to your hair and have fun because that's what Funky Findings are all about!!!
(Did I say Hair???) Since her early retirement from the trucking and warehousing industry, Diane has been persuing her passion to create. She admits she is a beadaholic and loves to go all the bead shows and shops to personally select each and every strand of beads, semi precious stones or other components she uses. Her real love, though, is hunting out those one of a kind "Funky Findings" that really make her designs unique. Be it a single earring, a pot shard, or an old doohickey, Diane seeks and finds that which one would never think could be turned into jewelry. Even more fun is watching the expressions on the faces of the people who see and wear her jewelry.
Diane is a big proponent of the buy local/buy art movement. She collaborates with other artists and many of her finished pieces contain components created by other artists, like unique lampwork beads, raku pottery pendants and hand made sterling toggles. Diane has been active in women's leadership programs throughout her business career, is a strong networker and die hard supporter of the arts. She believes in artists working together for promoting and helping each other make a living from crafting and creating.
