Hello! I am Janice.... artist, photographer, and lover/collector of all things vintage (postcards, advertisements, greeting cards, vintage toys, vintage record players). I'm also a lover of all things related to the ocean... sea turtles, sea horses, blue waves, etc.
I live in Neptune Beach Florida with my husband and two very spoiled cats. We're a sleepy little beach town in NE Florida, USA. The beach is wide... the ocean is beautiful... and the people aren't bad either.
I was an art major way back when... and began making jewelry many years ago. Recently I have added art blocks to my repertoire. The themes that recur in my work are... birds, flowers, all things retro, all things blue, music, sea life, miniature villages, etc... I love to take photos and then color them by hand. For many of my pieces I do a lot of experimenting first... lots of doodles and sketches.
For my day job I am the activities director at a large retirement community. I have learned so much from the residents of the community. They have led such fascinating lives and I am in awe of so many of them.
Please drop in and feel free to contact me if there is anything you'd like to discuss. I'm glad to accept custom orders if there is something you see in my shop that you would like more personalized.
If you live outside of the US and would like to order something, please contact me and we can discuss shipping, and then I could do a separate listing for you.
Thanks for visiting. Please come back often.
