MEET THE DESIGNER |
Créateur de Belles Choses
Bonjour à Tous!
My name is Dominique Lise
(pronounced like "new lease
on life") and I'm pleased to share my designs with you. As a Northern New England native (Portland, Maine), I'm the daughter of French Canadians who were proud of their rich heritage. Their adoration of the arts and endearing French flair undoubtedly impacted my need to create beauty.
During the COVID lockdown of 2020, there was only one thing a creative French girl could do to "laissez les bons temps rouler" - create and design hand-made, one-of-a-kind jewelry using the finest quality semi-precious stones, faceted crystals, glass beads and rich leathers. My designs are pleasing to the eye and touch (you can even spin the stones as you wear them which is particularly fun for those with fidgety hands like mine). My pieces are imbued with healing properties that are comfortable to wear and made with "beaucoup d'amour" from my heart to yours. Each piece is made by hand by yours truly, and many of my designs can take upwards of four hours to weave. By 2023, I expanded my work to include hand-crafted greeting cards, and journal books so that you would feel inspired to pour your heart into something beautiful. (I'm all about heart and self- expression.) My newest passion is creating delightfully embellished Bohemian clothing. No two pieces are alike such that you can express your beautiful self in ways that make you smile and spark great conversations.
I currently live full time in Maryland with my husband, Harold and our two Standard Poodles, Hank and Ben. We love to travel and spend much of our summer in New England and roaming the country in our 25' RV. Maybe we'll run into you on our travels!
I welcome your questions and feedback. Moreover, I look forward to connecting with you at our favorite
craft shows.
À bientôt,
Dominique Lise
