Find Leonajeanne Designs In Real Life
Now that we are able to get out and about again, you may be wondering where you can see my designs in galleries or at shows.
At this time, I am not planning to be in any shows this year. But you can still see my designs in real life! In the spring, I sent a number of my pieces from my Isles collection off to Kizmit Gift Gallery.
Kizmit is in Fort Langley, on the Lower Mainland and is a welcoming gallery gift shop. Try to visit if you are in the area!
If you still want to wait for when I next release pieces, then please sign up for my email list so you get first dibs!

Cascade oceany statement necklaces
As an artist, I never really know how my pieces will turn out until they are done.
These two statement necklaces came together after playing around with the oceany blue glass beads and my bronze pieces.
I really like how they turned out.
They will be available in my next release. Insiders get to shop first, so get on my list and join them! Sign up with your email below.
Barnacle blues, as jewelry!
If you have been hanging around here, then you know that I am inspired by oceany things.
One of my favourite forms to create is the barnacled shell. Since all of the pieces I am currently working on are part of my collaboration with Kanna Glass Studio, these pieces of course incorporate her lovely, oceany blue beads.
These barnacle pieces will all be in my next release, which is coming before the end of the month.

Ocean inspired snail shell jewelry in bronze and blue
These pieces are inspired by the top snail shells.
There are five top snails that live in the Pacific Northwest coastal waters. Some of these shells were used as decoration by Indigenous peoples.
I am happy to introduce my version of ornamentation with top snails!
If you want to be first to shop for these top snails when they are released in a few weeks, then you need to be on my email list. Sign up below.
Coastal collaboration Cascade necklaces

Here are a couple of necklaces that are in progress.
I am calling them Cascade. These will definitely make a statement!

Ready for summer yet?
I have been working on these new bronze and glass pieces. I am having a grand time with matching the right blue bead to the right bronze form.
They will be ready for release in a few weeks. Don't worry, the wires won't be sticking out when they are done!

Playing around with beads and rings for new designs
I am still working on my coast to coast collaboration pieces. I made these rings with an idea in my head - one large statement necklace with a mix of my bronze and Kanna Glass beads.
Now that I am playing around with them (the rings are just out of the kiln and not polished yet), I am not so sure about the one big necklace.
Maybe, there will be TWO necklaces from these three pieces!
