It's a beautiful name. Colorful. Graceful. And these qualities are perfect for it's meaning as well! Because M'Ayanna means "Mommy and Ayanna".
How did this beautiful name come about?
When today's artisan first started creating jewelry, her focus was on finding a wonderful creative outlet for her pre-teen daughter. Instead, it turned into an outlet for her! Where her daughter's interests were fleeting and waned quickly (as children's interests often do), Patrice carried on creating beautiful designs and creative jewelry.
At first just a hobby to soothe the soul, as often happens with creative people, her creativity soon overflowed and has since developed into a business as well as a hobby.
Her daughter (now 18) still contributes, although now she is the creative critique rather than a jewelry designer herself and together their shop has developed into a beautiful home for an eclectic collection of jewelry styles and designs that are sure to spice up the outfits of any who wear them!

The mosaic today is all about the ocean and a handful of wonderful artisans who feature her beauty!
Growing up, one of the things I loved most about summer was camping and I always begged for spots that were right near the ocean. I loved the ocean best. I wasn't into sun bathing or checking out the guys but I loved to explore the tide pools, body surf and swim within the waves. Fascinating during daylight or at night, it was, in my mind, the perfect place to spend a long weekend.

He has a wide variety of pendants and glass sculptures available including stingrays, seahorses and some of the most beautiful lampwork seashells I've ever seen.

An artisan on the northwest coast who enjoys capturing bits of her surroundings in her pieces so that she can share a little of the west coast landscape and nature with everyone else.
