“Michele Palenik’s artisan assortment of shipwreck glass jewelry has been the best selling line in Odyssey’s stores and on-line for over 5 years.  She is always up for a challenge-her ability to turn our trash into treasure, literally, is amazing.  From broken glass to pottery shards Michele is constantly re-inventing the humble raw materials we give her into unique pieces that are priced to sell!”

“And even though her art can certainly stand on its own, her personal touches- signing each piece, writing a verse, her signature tag ..absolutely puts Purple Cloud over the top!  Michele truly has a gift that she shares in the most enthusiastic, open minded, and artful way.” -Kathy Salvant, Odyssey Marine

“I wish I could say more than just “Positive”. This piece is just beautiful and I’m thrilled to have it in my house. I have a simple philosophy for buying art: I buy what makes me happy and lifts my spirit each time I see it. This is exactly how I feel when I look at this piece. Many thanks to Michele and Martin for such a wonderful creation.” –Nancy Frank

“What I like most about the pendants is not having to fill them and the fast turn-around time. All of my customers really love their keepsakes.”  Tony Zipperer, Zipperer’s  Agape Mortuary

“Our families love the uniqueness and that this piece of jewelry was handmade especially for them.” -Stacy Adams, Adams & Jennings Funeral Home

“I am very pleased with my decision to offer Purple Cloud Studio’s cremation pendant collection as a keepsake to our families. The pendant designs were exactly what I was looking for. It offers complete personalization, affordability, personal choices of designs and colors…it even includes a Sterling Silver chain. It is marketable at prices all families can afford.” -Lowell J. MacDonald, MacDonald Funeral Home
