She works as a silversmith and does precious metal clay, resin and bead work. She handcrafts lovely pieces of jewelry including fabulous shell-in-resin bracelets that are divine. Immortalizing local shells in resin makes the perfect vacation keepsake! Crystal also casts shells in metal to make lovely pendants. She works with precious metal clay to form pendants that she accents with beads. Enjoy viewing gifts such as decoys and bird houses as well as a collection of real whelks for sale on her porch.
