What People Are Saying

This is one of the most creative experiences I've encountered. Not just the way Janise designs her beautiful jewelry, but the materials she uses to get there is the amazing part of her journey.   Together with her husband Ed, who creates beautiful sculptures, they will take you to a place beyond your imagination. Love your ART!" ~ Liz

I had a few pieces of odds and ends and a broken watch my mother wore. I wanted a bracelet made and was hoping something could be made.  I was delighted how Janise used all the pieces, added special birthstones crystals, and made the watch the centerpiece. I love it!  It's beautiful and it reminds me of my mom." ~ Marybeth

Janise taught my cousin and I how to make magazine bead jewelry. Since then, I have refined skills and it has become one of my favorite forms of art over the years.  I used what I learned to teach girls who are at risk and have been abused how to make paper bead jewelry and find healing through the love of God and the tools of art. ~ Chrissy

My niece, Sarah wanted a wedding that reflected her Industrial Modern style and her personal values; the importance of love, family, and friends along with the union of marriage. Janise and Ed took that to heart and put their creativity to work.  It was beautiful. Every aspect was planned with the intention to meet Sarah’s goals of style and make everyone feel like part of it.  They orchestrated and handmade just about everything for the wedding and the reception, from the custom white washed farm tables, etched wine glasses, floral arrangements, dyed napkins, lettering signs, recycling vintage and industrial material for the displays and decorations.  Including family and friends  in the preparations, was a sure way to make everyone feel like they were a part of something special.  It was evident on that day everything had been touched with loving care.  All who attended felt included and also honored.  Sarah and her husband, Will’s wishes had come true.  It was stunning.”  ~Nancy
