After many years of doing only what I had to do to provide for myself and my family, I found myself ready to do something I wanted to do. It occurred to me that I love creating things and having something to show for the time I spend 'busy'. When I started making jewelry, I found joy in the creativity and meditative calm that descends when a process absorbs my whole attention. Only 10 years from retirement and I finally figured it out....what I want to do when I grow up! Starshayde Creations is an endeavor born from the desire to create tangible, beautiful and sometimes just plain fun items to be enjoyed.



It began purely as a hobby with most of the things I made created from glass and craft wire. I gave them as gifts or just for fun. Then I discovered wire-wrapped pendants and haven't looked back. I moved on to precious and semi precious crystals and other beautiful stones along with higher quality wire and findings. Now I am stretching into different types of meditation beads and other design styles including pieces designed specifically for LARP enthusiasts. There are so many fun things to make!



Usually, I strive for a simple elegant design that highlights the natural beauty of the centerpiece I am working with. Sometimes I incorporate symbols into my work. The power of symbols lends itself to an art like wire wrapping because we can incorporate them into our designs. The Yin/Yang symbol is an example of one I like to include in a piece as is the infinity symbol. Though my background is quite technical (Physics), I also have a deep respect for the possibility that there is much we don’t yet understand and that is beyond our ability to build ‘sensors’ that can ‘prove’ or ‘disprove’ the existence of. I plan to create a variety of designs that are both beautiful and have meaning for the wearer.



Thank-you for coming along on this journey with me and I hope you enjoy 'window shopping' here at Starshayde!! :)
