Kind Words

My beautiful custom made wedding ring arrived today. It is simply exquisite! My experience with Chayse was wonderful from start to finish. I cannot recommend her work more highly. -Kaarin

Frontera customized this piece for me after I was inspired by her other work! Process was quick and easy and she helped me track it down after I entered the wrong shipping address. I have other Frontera pieces as well and love them all. -Amy

Frontera means borders in Spanish. It’s more than just a business name. It represents a vow I made to always break past physical and emotional borders, to dive into the unknown, to challenge myself, be comfortable in the discomfort.
I’m gearing up for another grand adventure and am headed to Guatemala tomorrow. This country and its people certainly changed my life 10 years ago and kickstarted my passion for travel, art, and language. Even though I’m stoked beyond belief, preparing to travel in a post’ish COVID era has certainly brought a little more anxiety than in the past. So I go back to this mantra over and over again - FEAR NOT ~ you are safe and loved!
My favorite time of year is here… the wildflowers are BLOOMING in the high alpine. What are some of your favorite flowers to admire? Mine is Indian paintbrush!
“Aim to be grounded yet constantly evolving. Never be stuck in your ways and always give graciously and gracefully. ” says the mountain.
To see pictures of mountains, peaks, domes to create special pieces for people is one thing, but to stand in the presence of them is something completely different!
There have been so many life changes recently and this one is by far my favorite! You can now call me Mrs. (Romero) Field 💓
I’ve been taking BIG leaps of faith recently and am SO excited to share that starting this summer I will become a FULL TIME metalsmith & creative. EEEP, I CAN STILL HARDLY BELIEVE IT! Thank you all so much for the words of wisdom, encouragement, inspiration, and support over the years!!! I couldn’t do any of this without you beautiful people who choose to support handmade art!
Happy hump day! Just a few new things from my end:
SER•EN•DIP•I•TY : good luck in making unexpected and fortunate discoveries.
I have a new technique under my belt. I can now “flush set” stones, meaning setting small 1-3mm stones so that they sit flush into the metal. It’s reminded me that this trade offers (no joke) a lifetime of techniques to learn and perfect, which is one of the many reasons I love this craft.
