“Very pretty and unique designs and looks very well made. Quite pleased! Beautiful!”
Annnonymous
“Valerie's artistic vision and demand for excellence in her materials, and in her own skill set make for a beautiful piece of artwork that one can wear.
She puts herself into each piece, touching them multiple times through step after step of creation. Then she waits for destiny to find the owner of her art. Someone always comes along and falls in love with what she has created...”
Karen
