Rosemary McLeod
McRose Designs-Handcrafted Jewelry with an Artisan Spirit
Artist’s Statement:
Creating artistic expressions out of copper, brass, recycled materials, vintage
components and unusual beads continue to be the main outlet of my jewelry work.
Many times when starting a project the end results are surprising and fun. Metals
can go through many transformations when fired or a patina is applied. My style
is ever evolving and not static. I believe each one of us has an Artisan Spirit
waiting to be released. Which one is yours?
About the Artist:

her business, McRose Designs, and has been a vendor at various local art festivals
