Silversmith and Jewelry Artist Beth Miller

I want to introduce Beth Miller to you!
She lives in Marquette, Michigan and has
a fabulous shop on 1000 Markets, called
Beth Miller Silversmith & Jewelry Artist! Stop
by her shop and check out all the beautiful
items she has! She also does custom orders,
so, if you can't find something, but have an
idea, let Beth know and you may be able to
order it!!! Enjoy~

This beauty is called 'Moon Mountian Necklace'


Love these copper chick earrings!




She calls this 'Big Chick Pendant' pierced & cut
copper, very unique!


...and this, 'Dos Chirridos', beautiful copper
birds sitting in sterling silver hoop!


I've noticed Beth's beautiful
work for awhile on 1000 Markets, and
keep going back to see what she's up
too! I love her bird and leaf designs,
but all her work is beautiful!
This is only a small sample of Beth's
beautiful work, be sure to stop in her
shop and see all her fantastic jewelry!

Handcrafted in SEATTLE Market

My plan has been to feature an artisan
from 1000 Markets once a week, but with the holidays, being sick, the snow,
and going back to work! I wasn't
quite into blogging like I should've been,
which is okay, because I loved having Ellen's
'Streetnoodles'
beautiful birds here!!!
So I chose a Market, grabbed a few
of it's shops and urge you to go
visit the rest of it's fabulous
Merchants!!!
So of course, it had to be
Handcrafted in Seattle's Market!!! Here are some
of it's awesome Merchants!!!

anandi's laboratory

anandi's shop is full of fun items!
She makes ID tags for people, pets &
stuff, plus her nifty science themed
gifts and jewelry for the 'Geeks' in
your life!!! Check out her shop blog too!

SeattleSundries
SeattleSundries has beautiful soaps!
All of her soaps are made with natural olive,
palm and coconut oils and scented with pure
essential oils. There are no chemicals like
those used in many mass-produced commercial
soaps and “beauty bars”, so her soap will not
dry your skin or harm the earth.


Greenbelts
I Lovvre this beautiful leash!!!(Your
dog would be so envied at your
neighborhood doggie park)!!!

Greenbelts Is an
awesome recycler, this merchant recycles leather
from belts and upcycles them into wearable art!
You'll find these 'Ankle Corset Cuffs' in
this eco friendly shop!

ZebraLilly Shop
This fabulous pair of earrings
called 'Morrocan Nights' are a
sampling of what you'll find in
this Seattle artisans shop!

My Love of Vintage Repurposed Jewelry

I love finding a vintage piece of
jewelry I can repurpose into a
beautiful, 'NEW', wearable art piece!
As I arrange each piece, it's as if
they're talking to me, coming together
into an exciting meld of new and old!

I made these Spaceneedle earrings for a Challenge
Etsy Rain hosted! I thought it would be fun to
repurpose the vintage sweater clips, into
earrings for this 'Seattle' Etsy group!!!


This is my newest Baubles Buttons & Beads
OOAK bracelet in my 1000 Markets Shop!
