Jill Lawrence
Twisted Sister Arts
I am a self taught artist, who works full time from her studio in Oregon City, Oregon. I quit my day job a year ago, moved 2200 miles west back to Oregon, and set my studio up here. I've been on Etsy 4 years, and quitting my day job was a big leap of faith that it would work. It truly has, and it's a joy to create one of a kind pieces daily. I work with copper core wire in 8 colors, and Sterling Silver.
I specialize working with Eyes as my main focus, but receive
an occasional serious work on commission. I sell 95% of my work on
line, and have a local gallery and Williams College of Art, as my other
outlets for my work.
I paint my eyes, and often I will get requests for special colors
that I try to fill. When someone wishes for a purple eye ring, I will
paint up to 5 eyes, for them to choose from, and I send my pictures to
them via the web. It's a very special process and my secret how it's
done. I have sizes of glass from 14mm to 32mm, and can get smaller and
larger, with time for a special order.
My work travels all over the globe, and I ship daily, priority
mail. My best ideas come from my customers and about 50% of my work is
now done by request and on commission.

Thank you so much for posting about Jill. I went over to etsy and drooled all day..click clicking to decide which I wanted and low and behold one jumped in my cart and Jill mailed it right out. I can't wait to get it.
