Congratulations to Miss M Turner!

Artbeads is proud to present our Jewelry Design Star, Miss M Turner! The owner of PhoenixFire Designs has turned her hobby into her job and her passion, which all started 12 years ago when she started beading. Since her first attempt at making jewelry (when she bought all of the wrong things!) to now, Miss M Turner's craft has evolved. She enjoys working with gemstones and wire to create Tree of Life pendants, which has become the design she's best known for. It's still her favorite design to make. Since starting her Etsy store in 2006 and focusing on it full time, she is dedicated to ensuring that her customers walk away with a smile every time. See more beautiful jewelry from PhoenixFire Designs on Etsy. You can also catch up on what's new on their blog and Facebook page.

Here's what Miss M Turner had to say about her winning design:

This tree is bare of leaves like one would see in late Autumn and features a large, dyed, iridescent orange pearl round disk “full moon” behind the branches. This piece has a very mystical feeling to me and a stillness to it as well. It makes me think of a full moon at Halloween—or “All Hallow’s Eve” as it was once known. A night when witches stir their cauldrons and all sorts of magic is afoot!
