This is an archival site of Anima Designs Shop
Anima Designs started by creating artistic rubber stamps, from original photographs and has transformed into a purveyor of unusual beads and sacred amulets for jewelry, and a smattering of other vintage arts and crafts supplies. We have been in business since 2000. We have two sites: animadesigns-shop.com, which is our shopping site and animadesigns.com which was our original site and is currently the home of an extensive library of reference materials for the many projects, training sessions, and arts fairs that we have participated in over the years.
