LaLarney Leonard

I began my artistic endeavor as a potter making bowls, vases, etc. But, a car accident in 1998 eventually prevented working any more with clay.

I was always interested in jewelry. I began taking classes along the Gulf Coast from Pensacola to Gulf Port, Mississippi . I studied jewelry making and began to make jewelry. This led to selling jewelry and I started a business named Lavender L’Attitudes. I was screened into the Gallery as a jewelry artist and sell my work in Blue Morning Gallery.

I have a studio in my home which is dedicated to my jewelry making. I began making jewelry using semi-precious stones, wire and gold/silver findings from jewelry wholesale houses. I am now beginning to concentrate on using Swarovski crystal beads, pearls and rondelles.

My studio was destroyed by Hurricane Ivan and I have since rebuilt it more to my liking than it was before. I have been a member of Blue Morning Gallery since it first started in April 1997.
