I owe my carving career to my mother. She made me peel potatoes when I was a kid and bored with the task I made little figures and animals. She allowed me to practice - and ate without complains a lot of mashed potatoes during this timeā¦
For some time I carved stone and wood until one day, about 30 years ago, someone sold me a piece of fossil mammoth tusk at a flea market. This opened a new world of possibilities and beauty for me and ever since I am in love with this wonderful material.
I had never thought of me being an ivory carver for I am an elephant lover and fiercely protective of them. But the woolly mammoth are long gone and carving their tusks helps to protect the few precious elephants we still have.
You can order custom made jewelry, spiritual art, statues, bookmarks, cufflinks, knifes, historic chess sets and/or you can make me realize your own design. As you can see I can work within a great variety of styles. You can chose between Fossil Mammoth, Bone, Tagua Nut, Leather, Wood, Silver, Bronze, Copper and Steel, Amber, Mother of Pearl, Warthog Tusk - or a combination of all!
I am happy to help you to bring your creations and ideas to life. We will communicate and work together and create beautiful pieces of art that express your personality and/or your feelings toward a person you love.
If you decide to want ivory I guarantee very piece will be made from legal Mammoth. Every piece I have has been found in the permafrost 20 years ago. There will be no replenishing of that supply.
No elephant or endangered species was ever been killed or harmed for my art!
Thank you for visiting my shop. My very best wishes for you and your loved ones!

For Medical Alert BraceletBracelet is beautiful. But the bracelet/bangle part is not like the one pictured. The one pictured was round and the one we got is flat. It was to big so weve had to do some tweeking to it. And it would be a good thing to try and figure a better solution to the clasp/closing if the bracelet. Its a catch all and snag your clothes closure. And not easy to put it on. Other than that. Face plate is beautiful!!

For Laura's RingI cannot rave enough about the final product, but working with Andrita made this experience so helpful. She kept in contact with me, let me see the molds and make adjustments, and guarantees her work. I only wish I had more things for her to make! I would use her again without question in making my dream piece.
