Choosing the Perfect Name

Well, after long deliberations and many name changes, I think we finally have the perfect name. It not only describes me in a quarky sense, but I think it stands out from the rest. Choosing a name wasn't easy, I went through 3 or 4 "perfect" names before stumbling upon this one. Names don't come as easy as you may think. I am a Graphic Designer by trade, and I am paid to think of names and logos for others, but when it came to my own, I was stumped. Either someone already had the name I liked, or ones I thought were nice, my "panel of judges", my friends and family, said they didn't care for it. Back to the drawing board!

How I came up with it you ask? Well, my Blue Front Amazon Parrot was sitting on the screen part of my laptop as she usually does watching me work. She was pruning her feathers and one on her back ended up twisted and sticking out. I said to her as I fixed it, " Aww Corky, (that's her name) you have a twisted feather!" Viola!! The name Twisted Feather Designs was born.

I was always leaning toward a Native American name due to my heritage (Sioux Indian), but many people said that may not be good because people may think that I am targeting my audience to only Natives. Maybe to some degree they were right, but my heart kept telling me I wanted a name that best suited me, the artisan. I truly think that I have chosen the perfect name.

Its time to let the secret out! Jewelry is not the only thing that Twisted Feather will be making. We are also about to introduce our line of wine bottle holders made from the finest natural wood. I am excited to be able to bring these items to you, they are a huge hit amongst my friends and relatives.

Now I can take the next steps of designing the perfect logo and begin building a permanent web site and begin my online business! Please stick around, soon I will be putting up the link to my new website where you can shop til you drop! Thanks for visiting, and Namaste.

Introducing my Jewelry Collections

At Elements of Earth, I make handmade gemstone jewelry. Each gem carefully selected for its quality and beauty. The gemstones that I use come from all over the world to bring you jewelry that is unique and of excellent quality.

I make a variety of styles to suit any occasion, from a day in the office, to an evening out on the town. I have several collections that encompass my creations, and more being made every day, so there is something for everyone.

Special order sets are available for your wedding day or any other special occasion. I will hand pick the highest quality gemstones to compliment your gown or evening wear as well as matching sets for all of your brides maids. A perfect way to say thank you to your best friends, that shared the day with you and something they can continue wearing long after that special day.

A gemstone carries very empowering and healing energy that benefit’s the person who wears it in both the physical and spiritual sense. Take the time to learn the powers of your gemstones so that you can maximize the energy that they bring you. I provide with purchases a complete guide to the Folklore Remedies and Healing properties of the gems used. Plus a guide on how to cleanse your gems and program them to focus on its healing powers.

I hope you enjoy wearing them as much as I enjoy making them! Please visit often, because new collections are added regularly. Once a piece is sold, it is highly unlikely you will ever see it again because each piece is original, making it even more special.
