Art Friend Fridays - Shadow Dog Designs

"Art Friend Fridays" is an opportunity for me to share with you fellow Artisans who I respect and admire. I have known Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs for a few years now.She has become a part of my "online family", special to me for her unique one of a kind jewelry, her love of nature,  her dedication and support of adopting dogs from Shelters, and her beautiful Sister spirit. 

This week I received one of her creations, an enchanting pair of earrings named "Moon over Monad". a piece that speaks directly to my soul. 

Moon over Monad Earrings by Shadow Dog Designs
Catherine names all of her pieces and writes detailed descriptions for each, along with explaining symbolism, making the experience as close to "in person" as possible. Her collection is vast, offering treasures that will speak to most everyone. 

One of the most special things about Catherine is her "Dog Rescue" jewelry. She donates 1/2 of the purchase price of those pieces to her local humane society.


Please take an opportunity to visit Catherine's website and learn more about her and her work. I think you will fall in love with her creations.
