Do you do this for a living?
You bet...22 years full time. Our jewelry business started shortly after college after a short bit of being a manager of a retail store and being a professional photographer. After a few years of that... I quite my job and we lived in a pup tent on an island in the Florida Keys with our 3 year old daughter. At sunset we sold our hand made jewelry from a brief case at Mallory square [Key West]...and never looked back. For more history [CLICK HERE]. |

Our jewelry season usually lasts around 8 months leaving 4 months for building stock and for John to record his music. (We work a lot..But enjoy the challenge) |

Do you do repairs?
No we do not...For the same reason...but we do repair any of our own products if there are any problems. |

|
Do you make unicorns (as an example)?
Our art is non-representational...This means we strive for the beauty of pure abstract lines... creating an adventure for the eye. As we hope our music does for the ear. |
| |
|
Why don't you put words in you music?
We do not want to influence thought. Just as an abstract designs let the viewer decide what the image means or represents, our music with no words lets the listener do the same. The challenge is to design pure abstract beauty letting the lines and sound composition do the work. |
