Local Talent - Lisa LeBlanc
I met Lisa at the Peterborough School of Art at Sandy MacFarlane's Metal Jewellery class. Yes, she really does look like beautiful Drew Barrymore! And she's talented! A double whammy! I am very impressed by her industry! She has a website, a blog and an Etsy shop, chock full of her sparkly creations and cool accessories! Her website is here!
Lisa was recently featured in an Etsy Treasury! "The Treasury is a member-curated gallery of short-lived lists of 12 hand-picked items each (plus four alternates). It functions as a high-demand (and pretty!) promotional tool that many devoted Etsians fight to get. Members can feature their favorite items, items selected on a theme, or just however they like." Lisa's sterling silver arrow earrings were showcased as part of the This Way and That theme! You can also get a further glimpse into the life of this artist here. Exciting!

Local Talent-Deborah Sikora
As we all know, Peterborough, despite Bancroft's lame claim, is the most creative spot in Canada, rife with talent. And since I know alot of the talent, Ithought that I would showcase them here, for the benefit of you, faithful reader.
My first choice is, of course, the fabulously multi-talented Deborah Sikora. Debbie and I took Metal Jewellery Making at the Peterborough School of Art, but met years ago when I managed Blue Sky Bead and she taught there.
Debbie is a member of The Bead Hive, a group of ladies who...bead, dude. She is also currently selling her work at Mandie and Co., an awesome artists' co-op on Water Street at Hunter.
Unlike me, Debbie has the patience of Job and so excels at the most beautifully detailed chain maille. Quite gorgeous! Go see some and then buy it! K? She makes all sorts of jewellery but her creative talents go far beyond 'just beads'!
Visit Debbie every Wednesday at Mandie and Co. and visit her at the Ptbo Gem and Mineral Show at the end of February, at the Evinrude Centre.
