Terry's Design Garden

Welcome to my website...

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and look at my designs.  I'm a jewelry and craft designer, and here you'll find a little about me, my latest published designs and some of my available work.

I design in a variety of media and create everything from fine jewelry to children's crafts. I love to re-use found materials and find new uses for materials that one wouldn't ordinarily think of as craft materials.  So, I'm always on the look out in the grocery store, the hardware store or the recycling bin for new things to incorporate into my craft designs. 

I believe that crafting--whatever your media and whatever your age--has amazing benefits for your health, intelligence and peace of mind.  I believe in nurturing that creativity from which all great ideas blossom.
