About Us
Welcome to our site,
CreationsandArt.com. We offer you a combination of beautiful
hand made jewelry and art treasures from Zimbabwe and South Africa. My talented
11-year old daughter and I hand make all our jewelry pieces.
The beauty in the pieces we make comes from a wonderful mixture of gemstones,
glass beads, cultured freshwater pearls, natural shells, bone beads, sterling
silver wire and beads, gold-filled wire and beads. My daughter is a budding artist
and her talent is evident in her jewelry designs which can be viewed under
"Children's Jewelry". Of course, her pieces are geared towards the elementary school
age group through teenagers. There is something for everyone!
My pieces are made to capture different tastes. Each piece is unique. The influence
in my work comes from my love of different cultures. Some pieces have a Western influence,
African, Carribbean, Asian, Hispanic and Indian influences. Again, there is something for
everyone including men's pendants on leather!
Zimbabwe: No doubt, this southern African country has its own share of problems, but it can
still hold its head high within the art community through the growing popularity of Shona art,
another name for its stone sculpture. Blessed with an abundance of stones, Zimbabwe is proud
to show off its amazing stone sculpture, thanks to the talent of local artists. I travel to
Zimbabwe every two to three years and I always bring back a piece of art. The pieces on my site
were hand made for me by relatives or friends. I also included pottery, hand-woven baskets,
fabric posters and masks. Of course, the items will change from to time as new shipment arrives.
South Africa: This is my favorite place in the world. I visit South Africa every two to three years
and along the way, I pick up a little bit of Zulu beadwork, which I included on this site. The local
tribes have amazing talent in that their designs have no template or pattern to follow. Like most
tribes in Africa, their skills are passed on from one generation to another. It's incredible!
