Staci Rose is an artist who is lucky to live in the San Francisco Bay area, a metropolitan area abounding in creativity. You can find her things in galleries and boutiques there. I saw something in her shop that I fully believe in. It was "support living artists."
(Me, stepping up on my soapbox) I bought an artists' apron with the slogan "Support Living Artists, The Dead Ones Don't Care!" It doesn't benefit Pablo Picasso or Renoir or Degas or Salvador Dali or even Vincent Van Gogh one whit to buy a print of their work, or if you're on higher plane than most of us, to buy an original. Why? Elvis has left the building, the continent and the planet, and so have these guys! (OK, I'm down now, off the soapbox.)
This beautiful pair of earrings is made from Crazy Horse stone and Jasper. Says Staci, "All pieces are original, hand-made, and one of a kind! I search high and low for unique gemstone beads for wearable works of art. I make jewelry to look good and feel good while you wear it."

On the right is a butterfly mirror, another StaciRose original, entitled
"Butterfly Garden." And by the way, she uses no stickers which fall off down the road anyway. Materials used in this creative project are pine wood, acrylic paint, glass and mixed media.
Look at the versatility here in Fruit Salad (left). These very cute original wine charms are made from glass and plastic!
She also does many lovely Judaica items and also oil paintings of nudes.
Staci is a member of Worldwide Women Artists, (WWAO) an international collective of women artists showing and selling their work online and a certified Member of EBSQ Self-Representing Artists. All of Staci's work is original and one of a kind.
