Beth Anderson of Gladstone, Michigan likes to use vintage earrings and necklace pieces in her pendants. She got her start in jewelry making by designing a necklace for her daughter's wedding, using an earring of her mother's that she had always admired as a child. Now it has turned into her niche!
Sara Beck

This is Sara Beck's first year at the UP Made Artist Market. Born and raised in Escanaba MI, Sara grew up in a musical family, so her first "priority" in life is singing. She has been teaching private voice lessons for over 17 years and is a youth choir director at her church.
Sara first got into beading when a friend's family opened a bead store in town. Her hobby got going even more when the men's clothing store she worked at began selling women's clothes, and she figured those clothes needed accessories! Since then, she has done local Art Fairs and makes jewelry for friends and family. Welcome, Sara!

Mindy Flanigan
Beading Frenzy
Mindy grew up in Marquette, Michigan, the daughter of a very creative mother who has been Mindy's inspiration and encouragement. She has been creating jewelry for seven years. She is mostly self taught but attends as many workshops as possible, finding there is always more to learn.
The average bracelet sold in a department store is 7.5", but Mindy makes many of her bracelets smaller and larger, using a wide variety and beads and colors for every taste and size. Most of her jewelry is strung or wire wrapped. Glass, cat's eye, gemstone, Swarovski Crystal, Czech glass, freshwater pearls, millifiori and lamp work beads are among her - and her customers' - favorites! Mindy can be reached at ocdsad906@aol.com for more information.
