Artisan - Shelley McIlroy



    Shelley loves silver jewelry & has "collected" it most of her adult life.  She began learning to make jewelry over 15 years ago and enjoys working with all types of metals and making glass beads, which is her special passion.  


  

She is currently working with resin and silver fusing & especially enjoys creating whimsical pieces that are fun to wear, and incorporate her love for animals.


All her work is handmade.  She hand forges and fuses her chains from silver, copper & bronze metal wire, then incorporates resin pieces and/or lamp work glass beads she has also made herself. 

 


If you asked Shelley how to describe her jewelry in a few words, she would say  whimsical,  resin & metal jewelry
