This is me, Lori Mendenhall.
Organic & abstract designs are my passion!
I've been creating original jewelry for four years in my studio in Southern California. My specialty is creating pendants and beads from polymer clay and resin. Combining these with a gorgeous array of pearls, crystals, silver, copper, and other beads I offer you unique and intriguing designs. I take great pleasure in developing new techniques with alternative materials and expanding my skill set. My next venture will be incorporating stained glass techniques in jewelry-making, along with silversmithing and fusing.
My work has appeared in many publications. I'm a regular contributor to "Bead Trends" magazine, and have an exciting article coming out in "Bead Unique" in Summer 2010. I won "Honorable Mention" in the 2008 Bead Star competition, which had over a thousand entries. I also was a finalist in the 2008 Fire Mountain Gems contest which also had well over a thousand entries. Currently I'm waiting to hear if my three finalist pieces in the 2009 Bead Star contest have won anything. I've got hundreds of very happy customers. My whole jewelry journey had been wonderful.
