Meet The Maker

WHO ARE YOU, WHERE ARE YOU FROM, & WHAT DO YOU DO?
I’m Jade, the heart and soul behind GeoWhimsy Boutique, a polymer clay earring small business. I was born and raised in Augusta, Georgia! This town has been my home, and I love being able bring my art to the Augusta Handmade Fair!

DESCRIBE YOUR PROCESS.
I use polymer clay, mica powder, acrylic paint, and resin to create high quality earrings. By using silk screens, clay cutters, and hand sculpting, I create stunning and unique jewelry that helps people express themselves.

WHAT INSPIRES YOU?
I take inspiration from celestial imagery, botanical life, and whimsical fantasy. My goal is to capture the way these themes make me feel with my designs so others can bring a bit of whimsy to their daily life!

FUN FACT ABOUT YOU.
In addition to polymer clay art, I also create wire wrapped jewelry and cross stitched art pieces! In the future, I hope to learn macrame and incorporate it into my work.

FAVORITE THING ABOUT DOWNTOWN AUGUSTA.
Our Downtown has so many wonderful small businesses including New Moon Café, I love the soul of our city center.

WHY DO YOU LOVE TO DESIGN, CREATE + MAKE?
There’s nothing more human than the desire to create. I am an artist because I am happiest when I am creating, regardless of whether my art ends up bought.

WHAT IS ONE PIECE OF ADVICE YOU WOULD SHARE WITH OTHER ARTISTS + MAKERS?
It’s okay if your art doesn’t come out the way you imagine on the first attempt. It’s important that you keep making your art, at high quantities. The only way you get better is through practice, so make as much art as you can.
