GGsExclusivelyBeads's Profile

Bio

My name is Ginny Moore, I am a bead and jewelry artisan, I create handcrafted jewelry in different mediums, and I create artisan beads in polymer clay. I guess I can also be considered a polymer clay artisan, I have done a few miniatures, though I have not had any for sale in some time.

The most difficult thing I faced in starting my business is, believe it or not, what to name it! I first started out as Nature By Design, then when I started selling online, I used Ginny's Gems. I soon discovered several Ginny's Gems were out there! Gee, I wasn't "unique" after all! So I soon added "Exclusives" after the Ginny's Gems and it evolved into Ginny's Gems Exclusives. Then I started using a third party insurance company to insure my packages. Because I sold JEWELRY, there could not be ANYTHING on the label that said anything pertaining to JEWELRY, so the GEMS wouldn't work. So once again, my name evolved. I decided to abbreviate the Ginny's Gems to GG's, and so here we are, GG's Exclusives. Totally unique, much like myself, and the art pieces I create! SO when I decided to open a seperate Etsy Store to sell my artbeads and other jewelry supplies, I decided on the name GGs Excluively Beads, it jut "fit"!

I started designing and creating jewelry more than 30 years ago. It all started simply because I could not find items I liked. So I made them. I am completely self taught, I have never taken a lesson, not in creating beads, wirewrapping, wireworking, soldering, sculpting or beading I've learned it all myself.

Because I am a self-taught artisan, chances are the pieces you see of mine are going to be a bit different than those created by other artisans! I don't have any fancy degrees, or lots of initials after my name. I create from the heart, I create where my muses take me, I create what I like! I've been in business for over 9 years, I've sold on several of the better known auction sites, as user name ginnysgems, but now selling through my own Etsy Store is my main focus.

I live and have my studio in Batavia, Ohio, which is a suburb of Cincinnati. I've lived in the same county my entire life! I'm married, and my husband Trent, does make lampwork glass beads from time to time, which I use in my finished pieces and also offer in sets for sale. We've been married over 25 years, and have three children and three grandchildren!

I offer little pieces of my heart and soul in my handcrafted items, I hope you enjoy them as much as I did creating them! I also offer some jewelry making supplies, and will hopefully be offering more as I add more items to my store.

As a Member of EFA - Etsy For Animals, in 2007 I collected money from my sales for animal rescue groups. This year I am going to be using the proceeds from my sales to aid a horse rescue and adopt a rescue horse! I have been wanting to do this for many years and I am now in a position to be able to do that! I am in the process of looking for the right horse, when I find one, I will post a link here! I will be able to help a worthy rescue and once again be able to ride, 2008 will be a great year!
