"BACK TO MEET THE MEMBERS"


In 2002, Sharon Bass started Watergirl Designs by buying a few beads and selling a few simple beaded necklaces on ebay. A year later, her work evolved into what she is known for today, crocheted wire jewelry art.

"I like to mix different elements, both natural and man-made, to create rare pieces of jewelry art. Jewelry design is limitless, so many techniques and styles to learn. The pieces I'm most proud of are the ones in my Industrial Glam collection, which are made using hardware as well as a melee of other elements. It's jewelry with an edge. I'm also proud of the asymmetrical pieces I do. I don't aspire to create what is pretty or considered fine jewelry. I want to make something that opens eyes and causes conversation. That, to me, is the essence of any form of art." 

Sharon is originally from Fayetteville, NC and currently lives in the foothills of Western NC. She has a BA in Psychology and a minor in Environmental Studies. She continues to do seasonal work in erosion control. Her jewelry is featured in several regional galleries, and she hopes to expand beyond the region as Watergirl Designs continues to grow.
