Hello. name's Elise Atchley owner of Moonlight for Elise. I got into jewelry in my jounior year of high school because of my mom who can do anythin under the sun except knitting. Shortly after she picked it up I did as well as somthin the two of us could do together. Turns out it's extreamly addicting and I started sellin my stuff out of my back back in highschool and college. I love using malachite, garnet, and rainbow moonstone the most but I like most all semiprecious stones. I refuse to use plastic and only have glass sparingly. can't wait to get to know y'all better.
who wants to be ordinary in a crazy mixed up world?

Hello Elise and welcome. I think it is great that you and your mom share your love of making jewelry together. Do you do shows together, too? Your work sounds very nice. I love the look of all the gem stones. Well, I hope to see you around here in the future.

Hello Elise!
Welcome to our little corner of the Art fair world. Love your profile pick!
Like you I love the gemstones, but also pearls, crystals, and I do use glass seed beads. I live in Maine, so the outdoor fair season is still about a month away for me. But I have a few indoor shows lined up. Search through the forums- we discuss everything from best equipment, suppliers, and even get into consignment, insurance, and copyright/trademark issues! We have some very experienced and helpful, Veterans here, who help all us not so experienced people tremendously. Feel free to friend me- I am by no means a veteran, but not a newbie either! If you have any questions, just ask either in the forum, or in person. Good Luck!
Karole, in windy, rainy Maine!
Welcome Elise,
I am sure you will learn many new things here. Good luck to you down in Texas.
