Faces and Places - Spiral Fae Accents

Welcome to Faces and Places!  Our very first ”Face” in our new blog series are the owners of Spiral Fae Accents.
Spiral Fae Accents is a small local business that makes custom leather pieces and stone jewelry. Amber and Mitch Shineman travel around the country selling their artistic, one-of-a-kind leatherwork and jewelry at Pagan, artistic, and other festivals.  Amber began the business on her own several years ago after managing a retail store in St. Louis for many years. Her passion has always been to work with art and gemstones, so jewelry creation came naturally to her.  Mitch joined her a few years later and began an amazing journey of molding leather into fantastic shapes. Their creativity is inspired by the people they meet as well as nature herself. They include many of the items they find on their journeys into their artwork, giving each piece a unique sense of memory and history.
Not only are they artistic in leather and jewelry, but they have a constant flare for the wild, the fun and the unique.  They travel with Brian the Zombie and Beezle and they regularly post pictures of their copilots’ exploits. When they aren’t traveling, they are holed up at home in Central Missouri working on creating some of the finest leather masks, body armor, book bindings, belts, bags, and so much more or creating stone jewelry to rival the best in the land.
If you are interested in their wares, you can contact them by email at spiralfaeaccents@yahoo.com or find them on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/spiralfae.
Stay tuned for our next “face” in our community, coming to you in two short weeks!
