BangBang Bijoux
The primary focus of my jewellery and accessory line has always been to create unique, one of a kind statement pieces that are both aesthetically pleasing and thought provoking.

Old clocks, Vintage chandeliers and antique brass furniture adornments are the primary mediums used in my creations. Each piece is a one of a kind design made with love in Edmonton, Canada.

[top] Irene Austen Photography
My photography style is photojournalistic - an approach that implies the use of a certain style of bluntness where candid images tell a story. I think people, children especially, are so interesting that to create beautiful images, you simply need to capture them as they really are; this is the beauty of the every day.
The pictures I treasure the most are the ones that 'happened', not the ones that were posed. I admire photographers who use natural light, who blend in when taking pictures and who create a joyful experience. I approach photography with a specific goal in mind - to have fun. The pictures speak for themselves.
Ivry'd Willow
I'm Kerri and I created Ivry'd Willow because I believe that a woman's personality can be expressed through her accessories! I love jewelery and I love all things creative and when I put the two together Ivry'd Willow was born. I create my jewelery in many different styles, shapes and sizes in hope that each woman that I meet will find something that she loves. After all, a great work of art is something to be loved! Ivry'd Willow products are created out of love and attention to detail. I am fascinated with the natural stones, pearls and shells that this earth creates for us, so these are my materials of choice. I enjoy working with different metals, woods, chains and handmade glass as well. I look forward to meeting you and sharing with you my creative vision and I hope that you'll find something that is perfect for you!
