Several years ago I had an interest in making myself necklaces, so I researched, taught myself the basics and created beaded jewelry.  Since then I discovered a lot about my style of jewelry.  I like truly unusual things and non symmetrical patterns, textures, flowy shapes and multipurpose pieces.  I received many complements from family, friends and I would often be stopped and asked about the jewelry I was wearing.  With the encouragement of friends and those asking if they could purchase my jewelry I decided to offer my wearable art as a fundraiser to go on mission trips to work with orphans.

I was then faced with the dilemma of how to make these creations available to anyone wishing to have them.  Yes, I could put them on my website, but I find it hard to keep up with as the pieces are each unique and move quickly.  You see I create a limited number of pieces in each stone or centerpiece and of course the embellishments are unique to each one. 

Through the help of friends displaying boxes of my gems to their friends and coworkers the fundraiser began last year.  This year I am thrilled to announce that BellaDonna Herbs located in the Lemont House in Lemont, PA is now offering Jewelry by Janise Crow.  Anyone wishing to have a unique piece of wearable art at affordable prices and support missions to help orphans can now find them at BellaDonna Herbs and The Hair Lady Salon.  If you'd like to help your friends and coworkers with their holiday shopping and a free jewelry, showcase a box display at your office, organization or club or party.  It's easy, contact Janise for details.
