Greetings to all. I am M. Turner - the owner and creator of all the works on this site. I thought I'd put a bit of a face to the site and make a small page so you know where your jewelry comes from.

I live in Florida with my wonderful guy and two cats. We have a nice apartment out of which I run my small studio. PhoenixFire Designs is my "full-time" job, though I certainly don't keep regular hours. Often, you can find me working on a piece at 2am. It's just about whenever inspiration hits.

I began working with jewelry back in 2002 after a trip to the local craft store. All the pretty glass beads were hitting the shelves at that time and I thought I'd like to try my hand at it. I've always been an artsy-craftsy type person and this seemed like another interesting medium. I had no idea I'd grow to love it as much as I have, nor any thought back then that I'd make a website for it!

My first projects were pretty lacking. Wrong kind of stringing material, no notion of how to come up with the patterns and the design, working on the living room coffee table, sitting on the floor, beads rolling around everywhere! But, even though those first pieces weren't all that great, I got a lot of nice feedback and it encouraged me to try to do more - and be better at it. I started reading up online on the differences in materials and techniques and refined my own skills. I've never taken any classes, but I feel much more confident about my techniques now and I enjoy learning new things and using new materials in my work.

My horns started as a small side project for a local Renaissance Festival. I had seen them for sale but they appeared so poor of quality. Mold lines, rough edges, sloppy paint jobs - I knew I could do better then that. So I set out to make a pair of my own. Pretty soon my friends all wanted pairs!

I've been selling them during the month of October on ebay for the last few years now with great success. Pairs of my polymer horns have gone literally around the world. An art school in New York City commissioned a pair for a theater production; a sword-fighting troupe commissioned a pair for their own local Medieval Faire; I've had custom orders from Australia and the UK as well as locally here in the US and Canada. I sell them year-round here on the website and Halloween is my busiest season. With the horns though, the sky is the limit, and I enjoy getting custom requests for colors and styles. They're a lot of fun to make and wear.

I'm really pretty easy to work with in terms of different ideas, or variations on items listed. So if you see something you like but would like customized, just email me. I'm happy to work with you. I've made a lot of custom orders both in horns and jewelry and look forward to more. I'll always let you know what I can and can not do and keep you updated on all steps of the process if you do place an order. I know there's a little bit of nervousness when ordering from a stranger online, so I do everything I can to ensure you are happy with your order and that the process is as smooth as possible.

Thanks for your interest and enjoy your visit here at PhoenixFire Designs.
