Introduction	As a jewelry artist, I create chic, quirky, contemporary designs in sterling silver and copper. I am incredibly lucky to be able to do this work that I love in a place that I love: Two Rivers, Alaska. I share 10 acres of spruce woods with my husband and lots of critters, both wild and domestic, from lynxes to cockatiels. The angle of the light in the summertime, the aurora dancing across a glass-sharp sky... The bounty of berries and wildflowers and snowflakes and hoarfrost... All these things inspire me as I work. My jewelry makes people happy, and that delights me. Feel free to email me at kristin@tincupdesigns.com.
Interests	Knitting, feng shui, Zuni fetishes, birds birds birds... And of course, silversmithing.
Favorite movies	Bagdad Cafe, Ronin, Big Fish, Chicago, O Brother Where Art Thou?, Ugetsu, Master and Commander
Favorite music	John Prine, Guy Clark, Pink Floyd, R.E.M., Joni Mitchell, Madama Butterfly, Gypsy Kings, Sweet Honey in the Rock... too much to list.
