Tree of Life Necklace



I was utterly delighted as I was making this piece. It was my first online sale. And, going to a very special home in Serbia!

The Mother of all Anklets!
































I just finished this anklet for a friend that I hadn't seen in years. She loves to wear anklets and, the flashier the better. A mixed bag of treasures!

Welcome to my Blog

Hi, I'm Mona Lindvall.

Primarily, I'm a collector. Mostly of pretty things, although some not so pretty but interesting, nonetheless. I spent many years collecting vintage jewelry but seemed always to be drawn to the "orphans". Broken pieces and parts of things that no one else is interested in...little things that seemed destined to a life without meaning or purpose. And, I adore semi precious beads.

I have no formal art training (I have a Bachelors degree in Business Administration), but I've spent the last 18 years as a graphic designer, creating for others to sell their work.

It's time to sell my own. I've been designing and selling jewelry (wearable art, if you prefer) for the last five years and clearly am happier doing so. (My family thinks so, too!)

Please come by and visit often. I might have something interesting to say, but more than likely I'll just be delighted to show you what I'm working on.

And, if you have a moment, please visit my shop: www.mLindvall.etsy.com
