Swamp Gems

Lori Nelson

My current Fiber Art and beadwork represent a culmination of over 50 years' experience in several creative disciplines.  Having grown up in New Orleans, I have always had an appreciation for vintage, art deco, and luxury Bohemian-style art and jewelry.  I wanted to keep my roots in these styles while also creating a new, classy look for my one-of-a-kind pieces. I hope the joy you experience with my pieces matches the joy I felt in creating them.

Lyric Kali

 Ellen Cavendish believes each individual is uniquely calibrated with specific drives and needs.  When we know ourselves, we do not have to struggle to be someone we are not.  We can attune ourselves to who we truly are and allow the Universe to carry us.  She feels that Astrology provides a map for understanding, surviving, and thriving so we can contribute to the society we live in.
