This beautiful handmade necklace is not only a piece of jewelry but a work of love.  There are 3 strands of intricately detailed beads gathered together at the neck. The pendant featured is a small pillar of resin filled with buttons.  Vintage buttons, wooden beads, shimmery pearls, and tiny glass beads form a pleasing asymmetrical cascade of color down the neckline.   The necklace can be made to wear long or short, depending on your whim of the moment.  This necklace is one of a kind.  There are no more quite like it.  The earrings match its style perfectly.

New Characters

Both watercolor and pencil 8" x 10"

I really have no idea why I drew these weird little characters.  I was just doodling one day and this is what developed.  I happen to think the lower one looks very similar to my middle child Elijah.  It totally has his eyes and hair!  Maybe these guys can represent all the little boys out there that get beyond the point of simple scruffiness to 'NEED a haircut NOW'!  Hehe!  I know there are other moms who can relate.  

Anyway, I really enjoy doing things that are somewhat unpredictable to my usual style but still fit into the category of whimsical and childlike.  (I don't always draw princesses and girly stuff!)  I love imagining a personality to go along with the creatures I draw.  It stirs the imagination!  As soon as I thought I had finished drawing  I ran into the kids' playroom to ask the experts...  Elijah said to add a tail.  Cousin Katie put in her vote for a rat-tail like her pet Whiskers.  Simeon didn't like a tail but if it was necessary he wanted it to be a white hair ball.  

I love tapping into the wisdom {imagination} of children.  Getting down on their level and making stories.  It is putting it to paper and color that is what ultimately captivates me!

Stained Glass Mosaic

Stained Glass Mosaic

by Jennifer Witte

5" x 7" Framed

I am not the only artist in the family!  My sister Jenni creates these beautiful works of art on old pieces of furniture and nostalgic frames.  Among her collection are coffee tables, mirrors, decorative tables, vintage window frames and more.  She made a chess board once, which is my all-time favorite of her pieces.  I wish I had more photos to share with you!  She usually goes quite large with her mosaics.  This piece is actually among the smallest I have seen of her artwork.   

If I could describe Jenni's style it is vintage, eclectic, Anthroplogie... and always something to do with growing things like trees or gardens.  Very organic!  I just love what she does because each mosaic she creates is incredibly detailed and unique.  ~ Just like she is!  

If you are interested in having her create you something custom-made, I am sure she would love you to contact her!
