The long story on why we decided to open our Etsy store begins about 8 years ago. I picked up jewelry-making back then because my Aunt Terri got me interested. I made all kinds of jewelry, mostly beaded, as I continued to improve my work. My mother got me more serious about it because she saw the potential. So I began doing craft shows here and there. When I got married my husband started helping me out and now we both really enjoy our hobby. I came across a very unique design called a bead ball one day, and decided to try it. The results were spectacular. I've never seen this design anywhere else, and the place I saw it is no longer there. So as far as I know, I am the only one making this design.
I've had such an outpouring of support and encouragement from the bead ball design that I decided to open my own Etsy store recently. Everyone loves the design and I've been selling them locally at craft shows for a while now. Since its such a specialized design and category, I wanted to make my Etsy store based on it. So now I have an Etsy business specializing in this design.
I now custom design bead ball jewelry to anything you can think of. And its been a fun ride!
It really is a beautiful thing!
