  In The Night Kitchen
We're thrilled to have been featured on In The Night Kitchen -  "Fly me to the moon - I love how much atmosphere she adds to the piece, with the dragonfly and sexy brass chain (have I mentioned that brass jewelry looks awesome?).  I really flattered that Sharon would lend her amazing design talent to my piece, and I’m stoked that it’s currently for sale in her shop. I’m honestly tempted to buy it back again!  And did I mention there are matching earrings!!??" In The Night Kitchen.blogspot.com

"Chill Out - Mmmm…anybody else thinking pina coladas and moon-lit nights?  Sharon, of Mana Moon Studios, takes wire wrapping to a new level with her bracelets. You know how some jewelry you look at and you know exactly how it was made? I honestly don’t know where Sharon even begins with her pieces. And they’re so chock-full of extra little details and frills…perfect for the kind of person who loves to play with her jewelry all night long!"

  Vintaj Designer of the Month
I just incorporated Vintaj Natural Brass findings in two of my bracelets for the first time and love how the findings created an antique look to the bracelets. From the Vintaj line I used various bead caps, beads, “believe” charms, headpins, jump rings and the wire offered on your website in 20 & 24 gage. I create wire wrapped beaded bracelets using a variety of beads, wires & embellishments."

  What She Likes
Manamoon Studios is run by jewellery designer and maker Sharon Henry with the help of her husband Damien. Thanks to Flickr, I came to know about her.  I love beads and crystals, particularly big and glassy ones. Sharon uses lampwork, crystals, fibers, porcelain, Czech glass etc. in her jewellery. She makes key holders, necklaces, bracelets, earrings etc. Visit her shop at Etsy or go to her website to buy all these lovely wearable treasures!

  Chateau Bizarre
Site of the Day - "Jewelry twisted out of fiber, vintage finds, and woven wire, all made one-of-a-kind: glass beads layered over chunky gemstones, asymmetrical effects in the necklaces, and a mad energy racing through the wrapped pieces. They also bring their collaging effects into woven scarves."
