One of the most well-known rock climbing areas in North America is my backyard-the Shawangunk Mountains, more commonly known as "The Gunks".  I've lived under the ridge since the early 1980's where I raised three boys and, thanks to my grandmother, became skilled in making many handcrafted goods.

​

I started out making my own clothing and sewing everything from wedding gowns to tailored suits to rag dolls. One of my favorite jobs was managing a fabric store! I also love making quilts, playing with fabrics of all colors is so much fun.

​

After a variety of crafting adventures, a friend saw a photo in a catalog of a particular bracelet and asked, "Can you make this?", and that was how Bracelets Under the Gunks was born! It has turned into a beautiful journey of creating one wrap bracelet at a time...bead by bead, in the woods under the shadow of the Gunks.

​

It is my honor to share with my customers the creations that fulfill my creative spirit.  Each bracelet is unique, and I love making every single one. Beads excite me!!

​

My wrap bracelets are the kind that make you feel good when wearing them. They will become your "go-to" pieces that you will reach for over and over, wearing them alone or stacking with others.

​

I enjoy using different materials such as semi-precious stones, Czech glass, leather, and various metals.  I aim for quality pieces that are affordable, and I handcraft each bracelet with great care.  My number one end goal is that I want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase.

​

Have fun wearing them!!
