They have helped change our lives, and maybe I can help change someone else\'s, little by little." said Lizzie (Precious Metal Clay Jewelry Artist, and Mother of an Autistic Child). Pure Silver Jewelry of all shapes and styles is available with a portion of the proceeds from all Jewelry sales to be given to New Horizons in Autism. April is Autism Awareness Month, however, we place an emphasis on Autism Awareness all year long.
New Horizons in Autism Organization serving New Jersey started in 1980 with several families who shared a common concern.Autistic Children. These proactive parents identified the need for an organization to be created that would establish and maintain community-based programs. The goal of these programs would be to afford every individual with autism the rights and opportunities to live and recreate within the community. New Horizons has grown to operate 6 group homes, a vocational program, and is providing over 350 families in the central and upper central New Jersey region with a variety of respite, after-school, voucher stipend and behavior therapy support options. All efforts by New Horizons are individually targeted towards replacement of maladaptive behavior traits with improved socialization and other needed skills. DesignzByLizzie.etsy.com owner Lizzie states, "On the homepage of the New Horizons in Autism website is a great "A" for Autism silver necklace. This amazing pure silver pendant necklace is the brainchild of my 11-year-old son who has Autism. His idea was to make an "A" for Autism, so together we took his drawing and made the "A" for Autism piece that adorns this necklace. The silver necklace is being showcased on DesignzByLizzie.Etsy.com as well.
Etsy is a global site where artists offer their crafts and is an outlet for the members to support their noble causes and concerns through their arts, crafts and jewelry sales. Many of the members will be promoting Autism Awareness this month and donating percentages of the proceeds to various Autism Awareness organizations.
Lizzie further states "The medium I chose to express myself in begins its life as a gray piece of precious metal clay (99.9% pure silver), and when fired turns a shining solid silver. In my jewelry I may design things with slight variances on purpose -- but isn\'t that what life\'s all about?" Silver artist Lizzie is a member of the PMC (precious metal clay) Guild and a Certified Artisan and will be at the Handmade Faire in Waretown NJ on April 20th.
