Chuck Armstrong

Chuck Armstrong works with wood. In his younger days, he made finely carved wafer thin leaves for pins and other botanical forms for pins and earrings and pendants. His hands to not allow him to carve such detail any longer, so he used palm-held scrapers to craft freeform wooden bowls from large pieces of wood. The bowls are truly one-of-a-kind original art, and they are functional as well.

Dale Barbick

I make very simple beaded earrings so when I saw Dale Barbick's complex and intresting creations, I understood the quality of her materials and was in awe of her talent. She combines textures and colors in innovative and creative ways that bring out the best of the materials and result in peices that are richly layered in symbolism and meaning. Each one is a wearable individual one-of-a-kind work of art.
