I'm a mom to 3 amazing boys (13, 10 and 2), wife to a music aficionado, and my days are very full, to say the least. My artsy crafty business, Mermaiden Creations, has grown and evolved over the years out of an obsessive compulsive need to create and articulate the constant stream of ideas flowing into my head. My sources of inspiration are endless, but I can always count on some good channeling from nature or a concert/musical event. For me, creating is an exercise in magic. I find the polarity of weird beauty fascinating, as well as the combination of things dark and light. I start every day with a cup of dark coffee, bisect the day with dark chocolate, and have been known to enjoy a Guinness after dinner.
The San Francisco Bay Area is my home and community, where folks barely blink at the pagan room parent tattooed mom. I am somewhat of an A.D.D. crafter (eclectic or diverse would be more flattering terms); my studio is filled floor to ceiling with *stuff*. And I almost know where everything is. I love to listen to weird folk music and read fantasy novels and archaeology text books. You'll find me at weekend kids sports events or well past midnight donning my favorite witch hat.

Thank you so very very very very very much! I finally got the pendant in the post today and its B-E-A-Utiful! I can't wait to show it off at work tomorrow ever since I told my boss and showed her your work she's been dying to see it as much as I have. And the magnet as well is a lovely suprise! Lovely white bird surrounded by pretty beads. Definitly going to put in my keepsake box as sadly our fridge has a wooden cupboard door. But at least this way it won't get damaged. Next creative thing I do (and I am thinking of embroidering wings onto a white jacket of mine) will be dedicated to you. Thanks again Julie! I will treasure this gift forever!

Oh, Becky, I am so much more than thrilled that you love your pendant. I hope you wear it often, your Valkyrie Talisman. But don't shower with it on! Send me a pic with you wearing it when you get around to it :D And thanks for sharing your fondness for my work with your boss- makes me feel warm fuzzies.
No metal fridge, eh? Maybe at work there's something near your desk? Or the metal edge to a mirror or corkboard. You'll figure something out.

xo to you, my dear!

:) It just so happens I've brought my camera in with my today and I'm wearing your lovely talisman. So I will get Terry *boss* to take a close up picture of me with it on and when I get back to night I'll get my BF to take a photograph with me in my medieval pagan gear wearing it.

And there is a fridge in the backroom but as we only ever go in there during breaks I feel it won't be shown off as it should be. So at moment I'm leaning it on the base of my PC which sadly is covered in plastic lol.

Speak to you soon. xxx

Tomorrow is the day I become a viking valkyrie maiden but its sad to say I will not be wearing your lovely valkyrie feather pendant as it has not arrived yet :( Knowing my luck it will arrive the day I need it when I'm not around to collect it.

aw, boo. but i had a feeling it was going to take a bit of time, considering the other packages i sent AND that our post office was closed one day for veteran's day observances.
you'll enjoy it for every day wear instead :D

Beautiful gallery! :heart: I love your descriptions of the pieces too, they're quite beautifully written, and full of inspirational ideas.

What a fabulous compliment- thank you in fantastic ways. Extra appreciated coming from a writer :D I would be delighted and terribly flattered if anyone found inspiration in anything I made or wrote. Stop by my blog sometime if you have a minute, might be an interesting thing or two ;)
