Meet the Artist

Romanian Street Children

I first learned of the plight of the abandoned street children through my church. Seeing such poverty & neglect of innocent children moved me to action. I committed to use the talents & giftings that God gave me to help these children. Since 1995, proceeds from the sale of my pins & other handcrafted items have been donated to the Children's Relief Network, who work to provide a home for street children, as well a hot meals, medical attention & warm clothing for the children still living on the streets or in the sewers of Romania.

About the Artist

I individually handcraft my wearable art from many different materials. My favorite objects are Swarovski rhinestones and vintage reproduction cameos, which come in an abundance of styles, colors & sizes. With all the choices available, I went "Cameo Crazy!" And now you can too!

I create my wearable art using vintage reproduction cameos, gold & silver plated antiqued brass stampings, glass fire opals, Austrian crystal and Swarovski rhinestones, vintage watches, vintage glass stones, recycled vintage jewelry, and much much more! Each piece is unique, and many of my designs are one of a kind. You are sure to enjoy wearing and sharing them.

I am often asked, what does it mean when I refer to a cameo as vintage? Vintage items are items that do not come directly from the manufacturer. These items can come from any number of sources and are often unknown age. They may have been originally produced as far back as the 1940's or they could be left over components from a jewelry manufacturer that is selling off excess inventory. These items might be practically new and some of the patterns may still be produced today. But some are not, therefore vintage stock is often limited. This is why most of my designs are one of a kind, and duplicates are offered on a case by case basis. Please ask if you are interested in multiple of any design before ordering.

By purchasing from Cameo Crazy, you have the added bonus of helping the less fortunate. In today's crazy world, many of us want to find ways to give back and help others, to contribute to the welfare of those who are hurting, abused, lost and without hope. This is one of those ways~! I invite you to join me in making a difference in the lives of children.

God bless you & thank you for shopping Cameo Crazy!
