One of a kind Origami Gifts


Origami needs no special tools or workplace, just time, paper, and a lot of patience. It is fun for everyone and gives endless possibilities. The gift boxes and baskets are perfect holiday gifts and the 3D figurines are great for any occasion. The box and basket are folded from individual square papers and tucked together without any glue. The 3D figurines are made from hundreds to thousands of individual rectangular papers folded into "magic" triangles, which are then pieced together.  Each piece is unique in color and pattern design, so no two are alike.

Bead On A Wire                             


Jewelry by Andrea Lewicki

I create compelling earrings and pendants using wire and glass beads. I have a series of earrings featuring Swarovski crystals and pearls, and I also offer jewelry made with vintage glass beads. My earrings are available in a variety of styles, from dramatic signature earrings to shorter and simpler styles that are perfect for younger wearers. If you are looking for a particular color combination, I have a line of Swarovski earrings that can be customized for no additional charge (perfect for school colors!).

I started making bead jewelry 14 years ago after the first time I walked into a bead store and began collecting beads simply because of their color, shape, or the way they worked with other beads to create an interesting look. Bead on a Wire was born in January 2009 so that I could share my work and continue exploring jewelry techniques. The work that I offer is well-constructed and demonstrates professional craftsmanship.

 At the fair I will feature a new group of cluster pendants from my collection as well as sparkle pendants hung on ribbon. Necklace and earring sets will also be available. Jewelry is an easy holiday gift, and the pieces I offer are perfect for stocking stuffers, office gift exchanges, or when you need something unique for a special friend. You can see examples of my work at my website. I look forward to seeing you at the fair!

Resin Jewelry with a Vintage Touch

I work with resin to create colorful and unique pins, pendants, and earrings. My resin pieces are made from molds of vintage metal and glass. I use coins, old brooches, vintage

hardware, etc. to make the components. I'm constantly trying new techniques and expanding my work. I love to play with color and it is reflected in the pieces I create.
