Featured Artist

You'll have to excuse the extended absence I took from the blog. I am back now though, and plan to make this a more active blog again!

Today's featured artist is Cindy of Peacock Jewellery (CindyLouWho2.etsy.com) Peacock Jewellery is based out of Calgary, Alberta.

Cindy's jewellery are amazing works of art! She has a signature peacock blue colour (blurple) that unifies her shop, with many other complimentary colours that just make her shop such an appealing place to browse.

Cindy also generously donates 10% of her sales to MitoAction, a support and awareness group for mitochondrial disease (http://www.mitoaction.org/).

I just recently received a bracelet that I ordered from Cindy, and it is FABULOUS! The attention to detail, and the quality of her work is immaculate.

Here is just a sampling of her work:

Paua Abalone Shell and Pearl Cluster Earrings in Blurple

Peacock Pearl and Sapphire Swarovski Crystal Necklace


Aqua Blue Recycled Sea Glass Earrings in Sterling Silver



Black Lava and Czech Crystal Memory Wire Bracelet






















Take some time and browse her shop. There are so many treasures to be found there.
