About Me
Hi, I'm Marcia! I live in Elberta, Alabama with my husband, our dog, and two cats. Our home is where I work from my small studio to bring to life all my unique creations. While I am well known throughout many local festivals and galleries for my greatest love, handmade copper jewelry design, it is not my only talent. I am also a professional seamstress and costume designer for theatre and recitals as well as a professional floral designer who has worked in local shops and as a freelancer. Above all, I strive to create one-of-a-kind, wearable art for the adventurous!
about my process
My jewelry designs are brought to life using reclaimed and new copper. I apply a variety of classic and current methods to twist, hammer, weave, etch, and stamp shapes before accenting pieces with semi-precious stones, pearls, fossils, glass, and crystal beads.
Once finished, I oxidize the pieces in a bath of LOS (liver of sulfur), dry and buff them with 0000 steel wool, and then wash and polish them in a tumbler with steel shot. The result is an intricately beautiful distressed, aged appearance that will gain an even more stunning finish with lifelong wear.
Marcia's Studio Creations are featured in Fish River Furnishings & Art Gallery, Perdido Artist Gallery & Gifts, and Foley Art Center. For upcoming markets and events, visit our event page. For custom orders, please contact me!
