As of the 1st of July 2007 , you can now find Designs by Laura Ann at Boca Loca Beads located at 1311 Prospect Street in the Fountain Square Historic District in downtown Indianapolis. Store hours are: Monday through Saturday from 10 AM to 6 PM and Sunday from Noonto 4 PM. As you walk into the shop, my jewelry designs can be found on the bottom of the large display case to your left. Many of my creations are displayed on dress manequin jewelry holders.In addition to a myriad of beads and jewelry-making supplies, there are other items for sale including hand woven purses and African textile stamps to name a few. If the special person on your gift list is a do-it-yourself type, you might want to consider purchasing a gift certificate for merchandise or a Boca Loca Bead class.
For a list of classes see: http://www.bocalocabeadsinc.com/classes.htm.
If you still don't see what you are trying to find, you may also want to consider having either myself or the Boca Loca Bead staff design a piece for you. Boca Loca Bead Owner, Jari Sheese, is a talented lampwork bead artist. A unique custom designed piece of jewelry can be crafted with one of Jari's lampwork beads as a focal point. You might also consider repurposing vintage jewelry components from a family member into a new piece. Many of my jewelry designs started with vintage costume jewelry brooches that now serve as pendants.
