JewelSoup's Profile

Bio

My name is Thia and I am a self taught artisan. I come from a family with diverse artistic abilities. As a young girl I began my artistic journey with drawing and painting. From there, I just kept evolving. Through the years, I have experimented with many art media. I focused more intently on others, such as photography, mosaic art and making & designing jewelry, which is my favorite!

Jewelry has been around since early civilization. It has been deemed magical and can bring good luck and prosperity to the bearer. More often than not, it holds sentimental value. It is used to symbolize emotion such as happiness and Love to those who cherish it. In any case it is a reflection of the individual and can change the appearance and personality of the one who wears it ... especially if it is artisan made!

Wearing a piece of my jewelry has it's advantages; unique workmanship, attention to detail, and quality. Your clothing is only a backdrop, merely to be enhanced by a beautiful piece of jewelry.

Designing and making jewelry is like a meditation ... it takes me away from life's hectic nature.

I am inspired by a higher power, human beings, the beauty of nature, and animals. We are all born with a gift ... I am cultivating mine ... and would like to share it with you!
