I am relatively new client of Kelly’s and have been very pleased with the beautiful pieces that I have purchased. She has a special talent with her in making jewelry. All are beautiful, unique and quite reasonably priced.
I have asked Kelly a few times to make ear-rings to match necklaces that I have and she developed pieces that were beautiful and so complimentary. She also made a necklace and ear-ring set to match my dress for our daughter’s wedding and it was just perfect!
I would recommend her work to anyone.

Great to know!:)
Cyndi – thanks so much for the profile – it looks wonderful and I am so excited. I need to run and tell everyone to come have a look.
Thanks again!!!!
Jean, I am so thrilled that you shared all these beautiful creations and your insights with us. Thank *you*!
I really enjoyed this interview and the gorgeous accompanying photos.
Jean sounds like a down-to -earth gal with great intuitive ideas.
Love what her imagination created from casual to glam!
These are very nice jewelry, your very talented, were can I purchase one?
I’m a vintage jewelry nut. So much so that I collect and sell it. Love beads, love pins, love it all! I make my own jewelry out of polymer clay.
When I first saw the picture, it reminded me of a little purse with a beaded handle.
Beautiful name for a Beautiful necklace.
That’s so funny, Jeannie, because my mother thought it was a little purse too when I sent her the image
This copperclay piece is absolutely lovely. Do you sell them? If so what is the cost of one? It looks like a ancient leaf fossil I once saw and thought it would be perfect for a focal piece in a freeform bracelet or necklace.
Sherry, that is very flattering! I haven’t considered selling them, because these are my first attempts, and I can see things that I would do differently. Artbeads.com has some gorgeous copper leaves and flowers that might work for you:

I agree, this pendant is lovely. Gorgeous in fact! I would love to try that Coppr Clay some time. I think it would compliment polymer clay quite nicely!
Speaking of polymer clay, the Ancient Modern Polymer Clay book I won from you Cyndi, arrived! It is wonderful… thank you very much! If I have some time, I may just do a review on it! I’ll let you know if I do.
Great! I’m glad you’ve received it. I do think that the rustic look of the BronzClay and the CopprClay would both look really good with the style of polymer work in Ancient Modern
