Absolutely gorgeous bracelet, beautifully crafted with copper links connecting small squares sourced from a silver-plated tray! Shirley came up with this clever design in response to a Maker Challenge prompt. Eye catching and a pleasure to wear.

I received a beautiful copper oak leaf ornament from my niece. She had ordered it from Shirley at Wild Gatherings. It is so delicate and beautiful. Amazing quality and so lightweight. I will cherish this.

This lovely little dish will be a Christmas gift for a lovely friend. It came quickly - packaged with care and extra goodies and it's so nice that it doesn't need extra gift boxes or anything. The dish itself is really well crafted - and I'm not surprised! Everything that Shirley makes is so wonderful. I have a few items I'm pretty blessed to have received!! Thank you (again and again!)

My most recent purchase from WG was 3 Copper & Silver Coffee Measuring Spoons. One for me and 1 each for 2 of my dear friends. We have a reunion yearly, and usually I gift them with a creation from WG. The response was amazing. Sue's comment "As in the past, I hesitated to open it because the packaging is so exquisite. Love it! Thank you SO much. What a lovely remembrance of four wonderful days." and from Barbara "OMG, that ladle is beautiful!!! I love it! . . . It's perfect! I can't remember being so excited about a gift! Thanks again". Of course, I love mine, this Copper and Silver ladle is stunning. I highly recommend any creation from Wild Gatherings. K

This bracelet is even more beautiful than the photo conveys. I am a jewelry designer myself so it is a rarity that I order Jewelry online, but the occasional piece like this is very much worth it. Excellent craftsmanship and very unique, which is what I am all about! The packaging was unique and beautiful as well. It arrived to Alaska from Oregon in 3 days. I had never heard of, nor ordered from the "GOIMAGINE" site but I had to have the bracelet so I took a chance and it exceeded all my expectations! Thank You. It deserves 1000 stars and I highly recommend Shirley Walle a/k/a Wild Gatherings. I will be back for more no doubt! ***** (five stars)

I ordered Trinket Dish Flying Swallow Lavender Enameled Copper for my daughter. I thought this trinket dish would be so nice for her engagement ring. And she sent me a review for this item."I received the Flying Swallow Trinket Dish as a gift from my mother and I absolutely adore the craftsmanship and quality! The trinket dish was also packaged beautifully. I’m excited to use this trinket dish at my new apartment!"Thank you! Shirley.

If I could give 100 stars I would. Besides the incredible detail and perfect color, perfect size, amazingly perfect earrings for me, this seller goes above and beyond. First, the order came amazingly fast, faster than I ever expected. Next once I opened the box, the presentation was truly like unwrapping a present. Attention to every detail, I wish I was this good at making a recipient feel extra special. If you're buying as a gift, save some time and buy one for yourself. Amazingly fantasticly outstanding.

'Wild Gatherings' by artist, Shirley Walle, continue to amaze and delight me. I have gifted (and been gifted) many of her exquisite, copper pieces of art purchased from Go Imagine. From unique, imaginative wearables: earrings, bracelets, rings and pendants - to decorative, miniature trinket bowls and boxes to hold tiny treasures - to handmade darning needles - to elegant tree ornaments - there is something for everyone in her collection. A copper Nativity Christmas ornament is one of my favorite pieces - it is poignantly beautiful in its simplicity. I can't wait to see what new art works Shirley will pound, bend, solder, and mold next! Check out the many and varied pieces from Wild Gatherings - you will be glad you did!

Yes, I'm a return (again and again) collector of Shirley's lovely work. My latest purchases are copper oak leaf ornaments, as always beautifully crafted. I bought them for my tree, but they are so charmingly gift-bagged that I may need to consider passing them on to my daughters... Hmmm? :)

I purchased two switch plates from Wild Gatherings, one for me and one for my daughter. Each different and very unique and beautiful. I consider them a piece of art. Everyone who sees them comments on how lovely. I intend to purchase more in the future for me and for gifts. I love Wild Gatherings, the first place I go when looking for a special gift. Kaye Floyd

The uniqueness of the earrings I purchased is what drew me to them. The enamel colors online do not do these justice they are simply beautiful! Beautifully packaged and shipped quickly. I am a happy customer :)

I love this beautiful intricate hearts needle case. I wanted it to store my sewing needles in it, but now I really want to display it as an art object. It is gorgeous and I love it! I also loved the unique beautiful packaging it came in. Very happy with my purchase!

This earrings are absolutely gorgeous! They are large, which I like, but light weight. I love the copper patina and the enameled melted glass design. I love them and also love the beautiful packaging that they came in. Very happy with my purchase.

Recently I sent a different tiny copper trinket box from the one I already reviewed. This is what my good friend Barbara had to say about her gift -- "I received the most beautiful trinket box in the mail this morning. Plus it had the cutest scroll with a thank note from you. I put it on my fireplace mantel to show the mahjong group when they next play here." Thanks again Shirley for your awesome work, always so beautiful.

I recently sent a tiny copper trinket box to a dear friend of mine. This is what she had to say - "It arrived yesterday . . . and oh what a gift! The box is exquisite, and the packaging is nearly as gorgeous. What lovely work." I was sure my friend Sue would love this trinket box, and I was on spot with the gift. Shirley your work is always amazing.

Shirley, I just wanted to share with you about the enamel copper trinket bowl you mailed to my sister. She has been in a tailspin, fighting depression after the death of her son, and she was dreading her birthday. The gift of the trinket dish arrived at her door the morning of her birthday, and she LOVED it. She remembered you from a visit she made to Salem 2 years ago and had bought earrings from you at a craft show. Receiving this beautiful artwork turned her day around completely for the better. That is the power of art and beauty...thank you for your part in brightening her day. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a unique, quality gift, or as a treat to themselves.

My wife was so delighted to receive this copper trinket box for her birthday. She loves miniatures of all kinds, and this little box is right up her alley. She uses it to store her favorite rings, or earrings, or she uses it to display a special agate. She says the exquisite detail of the etched copper enhances the beauty of anything placed inside the box. There is a tiny semi-precious stone inlaid on the top, as well. My wife and I highly recommend this copper trinket box as a special gift to that special person. This unique piece of art is of the same excellent quality as everything else you will find in Wild Gatherings.

I bought a beautiful tiny trinket box for a friend's birthday. She is very hard to buy for and she LOVED the box. She loves little boxes and places for treasures and was thrilled with her box. It was wonderfully crafted and so unique.

Ordered a beautiful little trinket dish for my sister who always takes her wedding ring off to wash her hands. So this sweet colorful mini bowel is in her kitchen to remind her to put her ring in it.

It’s easy to keep coming back to this amazing artist's website because I know what I order people will love and appreciate. As did Beatrice “ I love the light switch cover. I have it up on my wall. “I love on 2 I have as well!! It really adds ambience to a room.
