Dream Again is a perfect name for this week's artist.  Looking through her shop, I was struck by the boldness and forward beauty of some pieces, the organic simplicity of others, and the intricacy of most.  Her etsy shop is really a stunning gallery and sampling of her work.

She's been a lover of feminine, pretty things since she was a child, spoiled as the first girl to her mother.  It wasn't a far leap from loving to creating; and, at the age of 20, she picked up her first jewelry supplies and that was all it took.

Above is one of the bold pieces I admire.  The fish and dragonfly motif are elegant, yet very feminine, and the alternating symmetry of the chain adds a lot of interest, for me.

An important part of creating is constantly learning, and this self-taught artist strives to expand her knowledge.  You can read on her blog about her journey into creating beautiful chainmaille pieces.  I really like to read stories about people exploring new avenues of creation and the process they go through, and I really admire the persistence and enthusiasm that Dream Again has for learning.  Below is a lovely example of her chainmaille.

I'm a huge sucker for pearls, so I have to share this last piece with you.  It's a delicate, yet stately bracelet, made up of irregular, fresh-water pearls.  The pale pink pearls are attached to a silver-plated, looped chain, if you need more pop than those gorgeous pearls give you!
