Total Art Soul - for artists

Mooaany, aka Carmen Trueheart (love that name) is a valued member of this site. She takes a very active part in the forum discussions and understands the spirit of the site.

After leaving Corporate work Carmen resorted to some of her hippy ways. One being beaded jewelry. As her interest progressed with silversmithing, PMC certification, collecting massive amounts of vintage beads and gemstones, classes and destroying metal, she finally has some jewelry of which she is proud. Carmen's main artistic jewelry work is now with Precious Metal Clay and the embellishment of such.

I love that many of her designs are nature inspired and find the little paw prints particularly cute. Here are some of my favorites.

As an advocate for the welfare of animals, she contributes 20% of all proceeds to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah. You can visit

to see what we can all do to help love the Animals.
