    Metalsmith and Jewelry Artist
    Bethlehem, PA

    Studio729 Owner, Jewelry artist, and Metalsmith Linda Heberling

    I find the making of art in all its forms is nearest to my heart.  Around 2010, I delved into learning a new artform by taking a metalsmithing class with a local instructor.  I continue to expand my knowledge and skill through a variety on online instructors. 

    For me, jewelry making is a beautiful combination of serious craft and miniature art, and incorporates all the disciplines I can think of—art, design, chemistry, metallurgy, mathematics, geometry, and more.  It is never dull or boring!  I work in silver, copper, brass and aluminum for now, employing a number of processes that include engraving, texturing, and stone setting for color.

    My handmade artisan jewelry makes great gifts for yourself and others.  I have an ever-growing inventory of rings, bracelets, and necklaces and pendants.  I also consider custom orders.

    Studio729 also sells original art and paintings! See the Directory Page here.

This eclectic approach allows her to explore the depths of human emotion and experience, drawing inspiration primarily from life, music, and poetry. Her works are a powerful emotional landscape to get lost in.

Rodale and Rodale Family Galleries in Pennsylvania, as well as Gallery 840, The Boyer Gallery, Midnight Gallery, NoName Gallery,and Sigal Museum.

    Essential Oil Wellness Advocate
    Saylorsburg, PA

    Health2You Owner, Jamie

    Hi, there!! My name is Jamie and I’m from Pennsylvania. After attending a lecture on essential oils, I became immediately drawn to the health benefits that these oils offer.  The journey began……

    I was and continue to be amazed at the positive effects they have on my health, my family’s health, and our emotional well-being. Not only do they help the physical body but they also work in the body on an emotional level. After encouragement from friends and family,  Health2You, LLC. was born.  I know that this is the Lord’s path for me. I faced health challenges as well as my children. These oils supported their bodies as well as mine.  I created blends to meet the needs of my family and friends. I am blessed to be making a positive difference in the lives of others and I want to thank you for entrusting me to make a positive difference in your life as well.

    I only use certified pure essential oils.

    My Schedule 2025:

    In addition to my Organic Anti-Aging Cream and Organic Calming Cream & Moisturizer, I have in my product line my own Bug Repellent Blend, Flea and Tick Prevention for cats and dogs, Gardener’s Delight, Hand Sanitizer Spray, Headache Stick, Hot Flashes Stick, Muscle Magic, Scar Stick, and Back Buster is now available which is more targeted for spine discomfort. Every product has been tested for its effectiveness. I also make custom blends for customers needing something else that I don’t currently have in my product line.

    Hellertown, PA

    Wood turning equipment, used by Rob of Broken Branch Creation in Hellertown.

    My woodworking adventure began 15 years ago after taking classes at Community college to re-familiarize myself with some of the power tools that I hadn’t used in many years. I was making items I could turn on a lathe including wooden bowls, plates, ornaments, jewelry, vases and candlesticks. I’ve since expanded my equipment and product lines to include cutting boards, charcuterie boards, cnc signs, band saw items and more.Adorable gnome, handmade by Bob of Broken Branch Creation in Hellertown PA.

    My shop is in my basement so there is no commute in the morning. After retiring four years ago from an IT Software systems job I can now devote more time to creating both decorative and functional items for the home. The name Broken Branch Creation was derived from the fact that I started with tree “parts” from storm damaged trees and those that were removed for horticultural reasons.

    I sell at various craft shows in the area which are always posted on the Facebook page and my websites event page.

    Fine Art Photographer
    Quakertown, PA

    Nick Fritz

    I approach photography from a fine art perspective, attempting to go beyond simply capturing what’s in front of me and adding my own interpretation to the scene. My goal with each of my images is to illustrate the mood I experienced while being at that specific location and evoke an emotional response from the viewer.

    While fine art photography is my primary focus, I also periodically make photo composites when I want to create an image outside the realm of reality. Tapping inspiration from surrealist and abstract artists, I combine and manipulate my own photographs to bring my ideas to life.

    In addition, I’ve started offering portrait sessions to individuals, couples, and families on a limited basis. I enjoy finding aesthetically pleasing locations for photo shoots and using natural light to my advantage, with the hope that clients walk away with unique keepsakes for themselves and their families.

    Please reach out to me at any time to inquire about fine art prints or to book a portrait session!
