Jebedis Jewels
Jeannie Snyder started making rosaries for her family and friends as a hobby which then sparked her interest in jewelry design and creation. "I love creating pieces that are unique and distinctive and enjoyed by others," Jeannie says. "The design of each piece translates into a distinctive and unique work of art. Many of my designs are one of a kind, created from quality semi-precious gemstones from Malaysia, Indonesia, China, South America and Thailand. My glass beads also come from exotic regions around the globe including Austria, Venice, Italy and the Czech Republic. My freshwater pearls from Lake Biwa are from the Shanghai Pearl Market. The Baltic Amber comes from Latvia and Poland."

Kathleen Krucoff
Kathleen's love of glass started during her childhood with her fascination of the beautiful stained glass windows in the churches of her hometown. In 1982, she had the opportunity to learn the technique of making stained glass windows. Today, she create her own designs for stained glass windows, primarily from her husband’s photography of nature. She works in copper foil and lead, sometimes combining both in a piece when calls for it. Recently, she began creating of cabochons for jewelry, primarily using Dichroic glass. Designing glass jewelry has opened the delicate art of wire wrapping for her, which allows her to create even more unique and distinctive pieces.

Ceci Cela
Sisters Lori Henson and Terri Johnson produce wonderful jewelry and decorative items from their company, Ceci Cela (“this and that” in French). “We’ve been in business about thirteen years” Henson says. Indeed, Ceci Cela is a small operation with Lori, who produces the art; Terri, who handles business functions; and their father, Jim Henson, who, as the metalworker, “has been sitting here soldering for all thirteen years,” Lori jokes.

Dancing Elk Designs
Since 1989, Jeff and Myan Sorensen of Dancing Elk Designs have been creating jewelry using naturally shed deer and elk antlers. Their design technique enhances the natural shapes, colors and textures of this unique medium. Each piece of jewelry reveals the best quality of that slice of antler. Additional design elements include stones, porcupine quills, sterling silver, and goldfill accents. This constant creative process opens doors of imagination, as one idea leads to the next.

Cindy Weller
Cindy Weller makes a broad range of uniquely designed and stylish wear that emphasizes floral and natural designs that are as elegant as they are intricate. She developed her passion for pottery at a young age watching her mother create china dolls. In college she studied different forms of sculpture from wood to ceramic to painting and photography, taking from each medium a desire to push the limits of the craft.

Erica Zap
Jewelry designer Erica Zap has been surrounded by art and craft all her life. Her parents owned an international handcraft shop that sold crafts and art collected from their extensive travels around the world. Erica's early exposure to exotic art and culture has greatly influenced her designs. "My goal is to design a contemporary look which exposes beauty through the simplicity of form. My jewelry reflects the integration of past and present cultures. I use metals, stones, textures, shapes and color to create precious pieces that are as individual as the women who wear them."
