Etsy Featured Artist - Thumbelina Creations

Jonquil opens her bio with this: "Jonquil Thiessen is a stay-at-home mom of three boys who loves to be creative in many different ways. She loves to sing, knit, crochet, draw, scrapbook, write music, and make jewelry. She would feel lost if she wasn't able to be creative." Wow! Much kudos for her for, 1. staying home to raise her boys, 2. being involved in so many creative outlets. Support our (world's) stay-at-home moms! She is from Alberta, Canada, is married, and has taken music and art classes through her schooling and college. Read more about Jonquil Thiessen in her etsy bio.

"Copper Necklace" is a copper disc with an "amber swirl drop" and wireworked "dangly", all hanging from a brown leather cord. I just love hammered copper, and this piece is no exception! To me, it is reminiscient of the new(?) style called steampunk. Tribal and earthy, with a bit of "machinery". The copper disc reminding me of a washer perhaps.
"Amethyst Ring size 7.5" is this particular ring, but Jonquil states, "I am able to make this ring in different colors and sizes. If you would like a different ring, just convo me." Let your imagination guide you.
"Copper Flower Earrings" are wireworked "flowers" with a crystal-colored bead added for sparkle.
