Meet The Artists

Laura Thompson, Jewelry Designer
Laura's life-long love of gemstones and jewelry is the foundation of her unique jewelry designs. She often incorportates wire-wrapping to create strong, yet delicate pendantes and beaded chains.

Dawn Devine aka Davina
Seeking a new creative outlet in 2004, Davina hosted a Beadzilla party and became hooked. Importing her design skills from her costume business, she discovered the pleasure of making "complete" ensembles including jewelry and accessories. She uses contemporary and vintage ethnographic components from North Africa, Middle East, Central Asia and India to create unique one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces and wearable art. Dawn is the author of a series of DIY costuming books for dancers including "Costuming from the Hip" and "Embellished Bras," both of which are available on Amazon.com. Visit her website for more information about costuming, books and dance. www.davina.us
