About jewelry designer Wendy Witchner

About Wendy...When Wendy was 12-years-of age growing up in San Francisco she developed an interest in making and selling wire jewelry and did so for two years. It was not until many years later while living and working as a flight instructor in Alaska that she again began actively designing and making jewelry. Her work has evolved over the past 16 years and today she has three distinct lines of jewelry. One is a light gauge wire line where she bends the wire freehand into various designs. The second is a coiled wire line, and the third is a mixed metal line. Her metal line is 'cold connected' by using wire for design and attachment purposes. Because of limitations living in a motor home she has decided to work with minimal tools. An eclectic mix of materials is incorporated into her designs with an emphasis on antique buttons from the late 1800's/early 1900's. She also works with glass buttons, pearls, raku, bali silver, crystals and other unique materials. Many of her designs are labor intensive and she is known for her attention to detail which is so evident in the beautiful pieces that she creates.

"...For the past eight and a half years, l have lived, traveled and worked out of a 26ft motor home. I lost my 13-year-old constant companion and co-pilot Shephusky, Diva, on Labor Day weekend of 2005. I now have my third motor home and live with my German shepherd, Allie, whom I rescued in 2006."
