DTL Designs by Diane E PolandPosted by DTL Designs By Diane E Poland on 6/2/2007DTL Designs by Diane E Poland (formerly of Gwenyn Designs) is now undergoing a new phase in life - hence the name change. I no longer carry products made by manufacturers. I acquire beads from individual artisans of lampworking, or make my own and enhance the bead-artwork using many different metal wire wrapping techniques, findings, spacers, semi-precious stones and Zwarovski crystals. I never know where the designs will lead, I just follow my creative muse, the feel of the materials along with the mood they create. I have some very unique pieces and hope you enjoy viewing them. Check back often for future additions to our gallery!

This is my very first signature set for DTL Designs by Diane E Poland. DTL is an acronym that means "Dancing Through Life". My father always loved to dance and when I was a very little girl, he would tell me to stand on his feet, he would hold my hands and I would dance with him. I always enjoyed those special dances. It was our special time together and I loved and cherished that time as I look back now. He died when I was nine years old so those dances represent the best of life for me. That's why I chose the name for my art work creations. I enjoy creating so much, it is my "dance through life". I cherish making these special pieces, and hope you will enjoy them also. |

Thanks to a very talented, and dear friend I became interested in crafting wire jewelry. That love for creating jewelry developed into a love for lampwork beads. I have been very fortunate to meet so many talented people in my journey with metal wire and glass. To all of you that have helped me understand my new media, words cannot begin to express my joy and new found freedom. My wish for you is that your blessings will be returned to you ten fold! “One should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art.” ~Oscar Wilde Diane Poland 4070 NE 19 Avenue Ocala FL 34479 US Phone: 352 207-6516 |
