First, I must apologize for being behind on this post. I thought I'd posted it, but it was hiding in my queue! It's been one of those weeks...

This week's feature is Jewelery by Janelle. There are so many extremely talented artists and artisans out there, but every now and then you run across a shop that really has...that je ne sais quoi that hits you. For me, Jewelry by Janelle's shop is just that.

It's her use of woods that really gets to me. I love natural woods in my home, be it furniture, paneling, or a piece of driftwood on the wall, but the textures, colors, and absolute glamor that she brings to life in jewelry (and in the last case below, a magnificent box) from is truly beautiful.

And I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that she also creates equally lovely non-wood jewelry. I was particularly struck by this snowflake obsidian set she has listed. It's subtle yet striking and would pair wonderfully with so many outfits, formal or casual.

Make sure to check out her blog! She regularly features other artisans and is currently hosting a giveaway for one of her delicious bangles!
