Featured Artist: Jennifer Morris

Meet Jennifer Morris, of Jennifer Morris Beads and Jewelry www.JenniferMorrisBeads.etsy.com

Not too often am I gob smacked by someone’s talent and creations like I have been by this artist.  I found Jennifer on etsy while perusing the shops, and have been a fan ever since.  As a person, Jennifer is friendly, giving, sweet, kind, encouraging, and very generous with her time.  We have struck up a bit of a friendship, exchanging stories and current life happenings, and I am always amazed at the sweet way she converses with me…as if we have been friends our whole lives.  I am lucky to say I own a few of her pieces…each I treasure and wear proudly.  When you purchase a Jennifer Morris piece, it arrives beautifully wrapped with a hand written card.  Just like you've sent yourself a special gift!  Someday I hope to meet her in person, but until then…please give a round of applause to Miss Jennifer Morris!

Here is her self written bio:

Jennifer Morris has been making things forever, exploring the world with an overactive imagination and very busy hands.  Jennifer is an experienced wood worker, welder, photographer, yogini and chef. She dreams of playing the ukulele and being able to carry a tune. Maybe someday..

When she's not working in her studio, you can find Jennifer  humming, steeping, sipping, staring, gazing, glimpsing, braising, sautéing, fonduing, sledding, pedaling, skating, skipping, jumping, reaching, climbing, dreaming, digging, plucking, strumming, snapping, cutting, folding, stitching, sketching, gluing, bending, stretching, pouring, swallowing, planting, watching, listening, looking,

and most always with one of her cameras.

All of the decorative beads are made by Jennifer with her own ever-changing blend of polymer clay infused with gold and silver leaf and often times paper clay mixed from recycled paper and fiber.  All of the beads are free form, made without molds... each dot, loop, swirl is placed on one at a time then carved and shaped.  

All rhinestones and components are vintage and recycled from old jewelry.

The gems from guaranteed humane sources.  All wire is 14k gold, sterling silver and vermeil.

Here is a sampling of her work…  enjoy!
