About Me

Hi, I'm Julie and I'm a craftaholic! I'm also a jeweler and mosaic artist, and I have made my living with my jewelry since 1990. I've had jewelry sold in the gift shops of museums including the American Craft Museum and Folk Art Museum in NYC and several national catalogs. I also sell to gift shops in Seattle and around the country as well as directly to customers on the internet. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!! My jewelry has been featured in several magazines, and I've appeared on HGTV making these bracelets and making a mosaic bowling pin. Rosie O'Donnell appeared wearing one of my pins and one of my wearable word bracelets was featured on The View.

    Not Your Mother's Mosaics

    jen, August 26, 2008

    I have taken the "make a stepping stone" or "make a mirror" classes. This isn't that class. Not even close. Julie changed the way I look at mosaics. I had a wonderful time experimenting with all sorts of materials. She is a wealth of information as well as a source of inspiration. I left her studio excited to get started on a new project right away. Anybody wishing to get started making mosaics or looking to learn more should take her class. I sure am happy I did!

I mean...c'mon...mosaics on a Magic 8-ball?!? That's SO cool! Her mosaics are SO much fun and whimsical...definitely "not your mother's mosaics"!

    Oh, and definitely bring some friends...creativity is so much better with company :)

    No matter what Marlo is teaching, I've found Marlo to be prepared and patient, relaxed and competent, and a wonderful conveyor of skills and ideas!
    You really couldn't find a better teacher. She has a wonderful background in jewelry and is extremely skilled.
