Artist Spotlight: Artfully Adorned

Maureen Strother is the designer behind Artfully Adorned
Timmonsville, South Carolina

What exciting things will you be bringing to the Local Treasures one day market February 25?
I'll be be bringing, some elegant and some fun, wire wrapped gemstone pendants and earrings with spring colors and fashion in mind.

What inspires you to make what you make?
I take a lot of inspiration from nature, and I keep a sketch book with ideas that pop into my head. A lot of the time I let the wire and gemstones speak to me and out comes a beautiful design.

What is your most treasured art, craft, or design tool and why?
My most treasured design tool would have to be my wire cutters. With out them I'm pretty much stuck. I can bend some of the wire designs with my fingers, but I have to be able to cut the wire to get anywhere.

Spring is such a beautiful season in the south. What do you look forward to each spring?
I look forward to spring colors, Dog Woods and Azaleas blooming. The sound of birds chirping. Everything seems so fresh and new.

Tennis shoes, sandals, flip flips or barefoot?
Spring is the time to show off those freshly painted toenails. I wear sandals.
