WenJaMaud Jewelry

Today I am going to introduce you to the designers of WenJaMaud Jewelry. This is truly a family affair! WenJaMaud, the name of our jewelry line, was named after its creation team, me, the Mom, and my two daughters, Audrey and Wendi. Our talents have been handed down to us from our families as far back as three generations. Our great grandparents, grandparents and parents were artists in their own right, painting in oils and acrylics and making musical instruments, along with many other crafts. We carry on this tradition of "creating" and "workmanship" through our jewelry making. I, Jo Ann, have studied art, sculpture, design and jewelry making in college and in classes outside of college. I’ve made jewelry over many years, sporadically. In the last two years, I have been able to work on my jewelry line almost daily since retiring from my career as a registered nurse. I have taught my daughters to carry on this artistic craft. When looking for these creative artisans on www.craftingcrazy.com check out the list of sellers, they will be under the name JoAnn Mims. You are sure to treasure their one of a kind pieces.

Jacqueline Palmiere

Hi Everyone! I am going to be doing a series about our artisan sellers. I would like to introduce you to Jacqueline Palmiere. Below is a short bio about this wonderful designer. Enjoy! Jacqueline Palmiere Jacqueline’s design philosophy is rooted in the classics which are the source of timeless designs that never go out of style. Her collection has a romantic old charm and quality to each piece. “I look to the past and create each of my necklaces into vibrate unique pieces of jewelry that make each of them a one of a kind design.” Jacqueline’s design collection is extremely versatile, women wear her pieces with jeans, business suits, or on the Red Carpet. Her interpretation of these classic forms includes preserving their handmade look. To accomplish this, Jacqueline personally hand-creates each piece. “The uniqueness of the design is the result of finding the right balance of proportions, colors and materials. Each piece of her work has its individual character, this hand-made quality is not perfect by design, and distinguishes her jewelry from less persona l, machine-made items. Jacqueline is a self-taught artist, who has been working with Semi-Precious Stones, Crystals, Sterling Silver, 14kt Gold and Pure Silver for over 13 years on the West Coast. Originally born in Rochester, New York, she moved to Los Angeles, started a Jewelry Design business with her best friend. While selling her designs in upscale boutiques in Beverly Hills, her clientele grew in numbers, which included many celebrities. You can see female celebrities such as Reese Witherspoon, Rachel Hunter, Jennifer Aniston, Tori Spelling and many more wearing Jacqueline’s Designs in film and on print. Jacqueline is always happy to work with individuals to design and create unique pieces for that special outfit or a special occasion. 10% of the proceed of “Creations to Wear” goes to aid our children (Missing and Exploited Children).

Crafting Crazy Is Born!

After many months, Crafting Crazy is finally here! My partner, Gary and I, worked very hard on coming up with a website that artisans could sell their handcrafted treasures on the internet. Many handcrafted artisans struggle to make a living and find it hard to manage the upkeep of a website. We feel like we have something to offer them. At Crafting Crazy they can sell their items for only a 25 cent listing fee. We do not change commissions or rent. The site is simple, but that is what keeps the cost down. The important thing is selling their handcrafted items, not putting them on a pretty site that has no traffic! We are committed to getting the word out about Crafting Crazy, and we do request that sellers to the same. This provides them with experience in promoting themselves and their items. Simple things like having business cards and giving them to anyone they meet will provide them with traffic to their 'store'. We also provide a service where if they want to purchase a domain and have it pointed to their 'store' we can do this, also they can have a personalized email address. This way on their business cards it can say, www.yourdomain.com , instead of real long a address with craftingcrazy added to it. Their email would say theirname@theirdomain.com , this is very professional and when customers enter their url they are directed to the seller's items. Each seller have their own admin area, where they can post their listings, advertise, check on their sales. Sales are posted immediately and and the seller is notified right away. The money from the sale is put into their PayPal account, we have nothing to do with their sales. We also offer an affiliate program for our sellers, just another way that they can make money. Buyers can feel comfortable about buying on Crafting Crazy also. We have a secure site and their personal information is not saved. They can purchase by PayPal, by Credit Card and by check, if the seller accepts them. All Items for sale are handcrafted by the artisan. We do not allow the sale of items purchased for resale. We already have several sellers that have signed up for Crafting Crazy today, and expect many more! Buyers need to add us to their favoriates and check back often. I am sure that there will be many sale items listed for the holidays. I will be posting pictures of current items for sale in the future for my blog readers to check out. I thank you for checking out Crafting Crazy and please let me know what you think of it. Have a wonderful day! Patty
