Featured Canadian Artist: Susan Stevens aka Hot Rocks


Whimsical, funky, and elegant... are all words that people have used to describe my jewelry. I love glass, especially artisan made lamp work glass beads, and many of my designs incorporate these fabulous, miniature works of art created by some extremely talented artisans. Venetian glass from Italy, semi precious stones and pearls, along with sparkling vintage and contemporary Swarovski crystals are also some of my favorite beads that I love to use, to create original, unique pieces of jewelry. Oh, and because I also love music, all of the bracelets and necklaces that I make are named after a song! So you may find your favorite song amongst my creations. I invite you into my little corner of the world, here in the quiet countryside, in the foothills of Alberta, where you can catch a glimpse of my life, my surroundings and my jewelry designs.

Hot Rocks

Note from Kim:

Well first of all, before you go visit her blog or website or Etsy shop, there are a few things you must do.
!. Grab a towel and cover your keyboard because there is an incredible amount of drooling when you start looking at all of her beautiful jewelery creations.

2. Be prepared to start singing.....her jewelery is named after song titles and they are all titles you will know, recognize and want to sing instantly. This could be hazardous to those around you, especially if you are not one with a singing talent like ummmmm myself and/or if you work in a cubicle.

3. Put some cash in your paypal account. Did I mention this jewelery is gorgeous? Everything!

I'm personally waiting for some Neil Young, like maybe Harvest Moon or We Never Danced......
although after visiting her Etsy shop I have been singing Rebel Rebel a lot lately!

Susan's creations and custom work make you want to capture a moment of time in your life from that first love, your first slow dance or the first kiss and wear it close to your heart. With or without the occasions and memories, her jewelery will easily withstand the fashion trends and become collector pieces of both the past and in the future.

Thank-you for sharing your art Susan!
