Profile Information

Location:: North of the Twin Cities, Minnesota

About Me:: I've been married to the best man in the entire world for 17 years. We have 4 incredible boys, busy, wild, active, but incredible boys under the age of 13.

I have my store at www.eyecandycreative.etsy.com
Here is my artist bio:

Kirsten Thompson’s love of all things creative began in high school photography. That creative passion continued in college through ceramics, painting, advanced photography and graphic design. Earning her BS degree in Graphic Design, she followed with over 10 years in the design community with a fortune 500 company before landing her biggest challenge, domestic engineer. Raising four boys with her husband in mid-central Minnesota provides her plenty of creative juices for her unique limited edition and most often one-of-a-kind jewelry designs. Kirsten’s earliest pieces years ago used plastics, vintage beads and other found objects. Now her palette includes semi-precious stones including, turquoise, grossular garnet, amazonite, sterling silver, Hill Tribe and Bali silver. “People say my pieces make them feel good. “If the jewelry brings joy and peace, I think maybe it comes from my absolute love of designing it and knowing that my spirit is a part of each one. Maybe the peace comes out from what goes into the work - passion, hope, belief and prayer."

Trunk Show and Wine Drinking!

Two great reasons to pull friends together. A designer jewelry sale and wine.
I had a request from a friend to hold a viewing of my jewelry. She has family coming in for Thanksgiving and wanted to buy their Christmas gifts.

I thought, absolutely! I have to clean my house for my thanksgiving anyway. I have many friends and clients who missed my art shows, perfect.

So off to Trader Joe's to get a case of vino. I made a tiramisu dessert, got your standard munchies, and whoolah… Continue
