Friday feature- One Artsy Mama with giveaway

This week I'm pleased to introduce to you Amy, the mom, blogger, and crafter behind One Arsty Mama- the shop and blog.  Here's what Amy shared with me about herself and shop.

Bird's Nest Pendant with 3 Blue Eggs

"I just love creating things and making the world more beautiful. As far as jewelry goes, I love things that are sparkly, things that are unique/funky, and things that are personal and meaningful. I searched long and hard after my son was born for some kind of mother's jewelry or family jewelry that was stylish and modern but had a hard time finding things I liked. That's why when I came across the idea of the birds' nests and the "peas" they were so appealing to make. I love making things that are both a fashion statement and an expression of who the wearer is/what she loves. As far as the crafts and things I do on my blog, I'm always looking for things I can do with Noah and get him involved in, or things I can make for him like his pillow/blanket set and hobby horse. I am inspired by sharing my love of art and creativity with him and watching him do his own thing and get really excited about what he makes. In all of it, I love being able to use the talents God has given me to bless other people and make something meaningful for them. "

 You'll find earrings, bracelets, pendants, and necklaces in her shop. I must say I'm envious of her talents with wire- wire does not cooperate with me and doesn't shape into beautiful things like it does for Amy.

In addition to her signature bird's nests, this pea pod is one of my favorites from her shop.
