What's a Love Light?
A lifetime-of-memories idea you'll find nowhere else. For brides: I will fashion a commemorative light that will be a gorgeous reminder of your wonderful day. Imagine your hallway illuminated with a night light created from pieces of your wedding, a bright tribute to your love and commitment. How? When your dress is being altered or made, request any leftover pieces of fabric, lace, embellishments etc. and we will create a customized night light from them. No alterations, or the remnants are too small? No problem! Show me your dress and/or the remnants, I'll find a close match and do my best to recreate the look and feel of your fabric.

Love Lights are perfect for gifting to your attendants, too. I will coordinate fabrics to "match" what your attendants are wearing, and/or the theme of your wedding - creating a sweet, giftable pre-wedding ensemble for everyone from flower girl to mothers of the couple! This unique "thank you" will light up everyone's life.

These gorgeous lights are also a great gift for occasions from Baptisms, 1st Communions, Sweet 16s, to Bat Mitzvahs, Realtor thank yous and beyond - even simply for someone who loves elegance.

BIO
What They Say: Impelled by the artists in her family and encouraged by those inspired and touched by her work, entrepreneur, artist, and author Jennifer Swan Hopkins opened two on-line businesses and began selling her art, literature, and functional pieces to the retail market in 2007.

A Minnesota native, her work can be found throughout North America, Australia and the UK. She offers a unique alliance of art, writing, and function. Original ideas become a unique and beautiful expression; forgotten bits of history or legend are reincarnated through her charming interpretations and find their way onto canvases, tapestries, shades, books and boxes. Her mixed media pieces feature techniques incorporating assemblage, canvas work, collage, altered art, writing, and pure creative energy.

What I Say: I was influenced by illustrators, artists (my family holds a more than a few), folk-lore, faerie tales, canonical literature, art, educators, nature, and history. From these complex constituents comes a glimpse into this artist's very heart. As each story is revealed, and I weave my passion, positive energy, and purpose into every unique piece; my commitment to the whole, this deeply personal involvement and spiritual connection is what sets my work, in whatever medium, apart.

I am passionate and possessed by what I do; I love it!
