Artist Feature - LINDA CHANDLER


Linda Chandler began making jewelry even as a child and grew up designing and handcrafting one of a kind pieces. She is inspired from designs of nature to basic functional pieces and combines the two into literal works of art. Linda is a master craftsman in many facets of jewelry making. Whether it be silversmithing intricate filigree designs, weaving wire into almost impossible patterns or stone setting, her foremost enjoyment comes from the design to finish of her amazing pieces. Linda has been a vendor on Etsy.com for well over a year and finds it a welcome change from the traditional Art Show scene that she spent many years taking part in. She feels that Etsy is a wonderful and lucrative avenue in which to share your designs, meet fellow artisans, and share tips and techniques.
Linda is also the co-author of "Woven Wire Jewelry" & "Getting Started Making Jewelry" published by Interweave Press.
The Argentium Tarnish-resistant Sterling Silver Woven bracelet, featured above, is available in Linda's Etsy shop (http://lchandler.etsy.com/) for $85 USD.
