My shop is: Dancing Rainbows. I can also be found at: Dancing Rainbows on Facebook. I create “sparkling” sun-catchers using primarily Swarovski crystals. Dancing Rainbows also offers jewelry, purse jewelry, zipper pulls and cell phone jewelry.
For the first 17 years of my life, “Home” was my Dad’s next
assignment. I was born in Birmingham, Alabama and, with my older sister,
moved almost every three years. By the time my Dad retired from the Air
Force, I had enrolled in nine different schools including three High
Schools, graduating in Tucson, Arizona. When my parents said they were
purchasing a home, I thought they were just kidding me. I loved moving
which meant a new adventure. I have always considered myself very
fortunate to have been stationed in England and Taiwan, S. Carolina,
Massachusetts, Georgia and finally in Arizona.
I was always captivated by light refraction. When I was little, I
remember loving to play with puddles in the road; it was even better if
there was a little bit of oil in the puddle. The puddle would have the
prettiest rainbows created by the oil.
My husband’s mother had the most exquisite almond shaped crystal hanging in their window. Seeing the rainbows dancing around the room when the sun hit the crystal was mesmerizing. Years later, that same crystal now hangs in our window and I fondly smile every time I see it.
Whether it’s a song, a flower, or maybe even a colorful food item such as “salsa”, (I do have a sun catcher named Salsa) I see every day life as a potential creation. It’s a great challenge to try and re-create it. I love custom orders and get the biggest kick out of receiving photos of whole rooms, wall paper and furniture. Since I also create jewelry, purse and cell phone jewelry and zipper pulls, I have received many photos of purses, clothes and material for matching.

I once had a customer who wanted a special sun catcher for a
relative who loved to camp. I suggested a pine tree…this is what I
designed. The more a customer can share, the better. After all, it has
to be “just right”. Nothing less will do.
I'm just trying to decorate the world...one sun catcher at a time.
