You know how it makes you feel when you see someone whose work is inspired? Someone who is passionate, creative, and intentionally using their talent?
Those thoughts come to mind when I look at Lisa Leonard's jewelry.
Lisa's handmade jewelry is meaningful, unique and perfect for everyday. Each piece is hand-cut, hammered, antiqued and polished sterling silver.
Listen to Lisa's own words:
"My desire is to create simple, lovely pieces that can be worn with jeans or your little black dress. I want each piece to be meaningful.
Our custom jewelry is hand-stamped with your kids’ names or a special phrase or verse. I love to touch my necklace throughout the day and reflect on my husband and my sweet boys.
Each piece we create is a work of art—hand cut, hammered, polished, drilled and assembled with care. I am inspired by other artists--painters, scrapbookers, clothing designers and poets.
I also love to soak up nature-the sky, the sea, the green hills. I let all these ideas and images swirl around in my mind and then I create.
When an idea hits me I sketch it out and play until the perfect design comes together."
Not only does Lisa make beautiful necklaces, but her shop also carries bracelets, keychains, and other engraved items.
And just as Lisa's shop is filled with lovely, inspired jewelry, her blog is filled with lovely images and inspired words.
In this giveaway Lisa is sharing a $50 gift certificate with one Steady Mom reader! (Open to readers with US or Canadian addresses.)
