I was born and raised as an only child in the state of Illinois, with my parents. I am married, and have 3 children.
My name is Vonna Contino Maslanka
My journey into the world of design began in 2005 with no formal jewelry design instruction
I decided after thirty five years to walk away from my day job, and I never ever looked back.
"Absorbing the world around her she is know for her asymmetry and her keen eye for color.
Simplicity is not in her vocabulary; her distinctive eclectic design using only using high quality elements,
handmade artisan lamp work glass beads makes her standout alone among the rest.
Her determination to push the limits has no boundary; she takes life as it comes to her straight on.
Her inspiration comes from within her soul, her surroundings, as well as what ever lies ahead of her in life." Marilyn Peraza
I design what I create, what you see is what you get, learning is a process, perfecting the technique can be a challenge.
Putting my own spin to the design is what they all call my magical imagination! I said this!
You will always see something different in my ever changing world!
"Peace is the key to one’s heart.
That instinct to express compassion is the key to existence in life’s purest form.It is one thing to dream, and another to conquer them.
Leaves you mystified with tantalizing yearnings of greater creations.
Do not test one’sskill at playing the game, only reflect on the pace at which they choose to play it.
Inspiration can come from the tiniest morsel of human affection.
I guess this leaves me with one crucial quest; can you conquer your dreams?" jon mcEachern - July 5th 2005
So let's just say my new journey shall be
Dedicated to my (angel) son: Jonathan McEachern
& to my other 2 children whom I love so very much! ( o' and no I won't forget my husband either!)
Thank you for the visit, I hope you stop back again soon. I hope I didn't scare you away!
In memorial to my Son Jon McEachern December 26, 1986 ~ November 30, 2007
