Where Fashion Meets Art
90% of the products in this store are HAND MADE in Canada by one artist (me)! They are not mass-produced in factories or "sweat shops", nor are they merely the product of a casual hobby. Creating art is my full-time legitimate business, and I take my work very seriously; I regularly test and wear my own products, and I have experience in making and selling fine art and crafts for over 20 years. I have been selling on Ebay since 2001, and there are no plans to stop anytime soon. So rest assured that I am not going to disappear overnight!

I hold very high standards both for materials and craftsmanship and stand behind my work 100% - I would not make or sell anything I would be ashamed to give to a good friend. I value my time, experience, and commitment to quality, and choose not to "cut corners" to ensure you get an attractive durable product and reliable time-tested professional service. On the other hand, I respect your hard-earned income and do not inflate my prices just to be pretentious. My prices reflect the materials, skill, and passion put into them, as well as actual shipping costs - not enormous markups.

I believe fashion design AND customer service is an art - and art should be enjoyed by everyone!

About The Artist: "Valerian"
eBay Member Since: Monday, May 21, 2001
My name is Elaine, but I am affectionately known online as "Valerian". I am 39 years old and received my fine arts degree at the Emily Carr Institute of Art & Design (Canada) in 1991. I am a full-time artist (painter), PPFA certified picture framer, web designer, jewelry artisan, fashion accessories designer, and all-around craftsperson. I began selling my handmade creations online here on Ebay in 2001 (Art of Adornment Ebay Store opened in 2004), however I have been exhibiting and selling my fine art and crafts for over 20 years. I also like to sew Victorian style corsets for myself and refinish furniture in my "spare" time.
