Michelle, in her own words… 

I have been creating for over 30 years, it’s what I love to do. Any day spent in the studio is a great day!

I love things old, things that have lovely soft worn in look to them, as if they were a precious item that had been passed down for generations. A link to another time or place, a glimpse of someone or something that touches a special place in you.

I also love inspiration a great quote or phrase or special text that has personal meaning to carry with me and motivate me. My work is created to inspire, to give you strength and courage, and to keep close to you those words that you cherish.

I make my designs with you in mind and I enjoy every step of the process and hope your enjoy wearing them as much as I enjoy making them for you!

What makes my day is when I make a custom item that speaks to you personally and you get it and it makes your day! It makes you smile and you leave such fantastic feedback and then I know you love it.

I have to say this is just how I feel about my lovely cuff bracelet from her shop. I chose a special poem that reminds me of my son, and I smile when I wear it!  My cuff is comfortable, stylish, and practical- and a perfect gift if you’re looking for ideas! She has an amazing color chart so that you can choose the perfect leather, there are so many colors perfect for every season… and the green is just gorgeous!

Do you have a passion for creating things and want to share that passion with the world? Anna did, and now that she’s sharing her passion we are all luckier for it. Meet Anna Ramie Talbott of  A.R.T. designs on etsy.

After a lifetime of designing, crafting & creating “just for fun” I have finally decided to try my hand at it professionally. Living in a remote mountain environment has given me lots of inspiration as well as the need to work from home.

I have created a modern, organic line of jewelry that reflects many areas of my life including my love of nature, design, techno music and even my years as an angsty punk rock youth. All of my jewelry is hand-made using natural materials such as gemstones, silver, copper and leather, always with an eye for detail and quality. Creating hand-hammered pieces with uniquely colored gemstones means that your piece is original and unique to you. I enjoy using the Earth’s elements to create streamlined and enticing pieces for you to wear and treasure for years to come.

Anna has generously offered to share something special with one of LDV’s readers- and the winner gets to choose her own piece! Enter to win a $25 gift certificate, see details on rafflecopter form, open internationally. Here are some of my favorite pieces from the shop. Visit the shop and her facebook page yourself and choose some of your own!
