My Jewelry Making Journey
I first learned how to make jewelry when I was about eight or nine years old. A friend taught me how she made dangle earrings, and I thought it was so cool to be able to design your own pieces! I made a couple pairs along with her, which I still have to this day.
I didn't think much of this at the time, as it was a random afternoon activity, but fast forward to Christmas of 2015, and I wanted to be able to have my own supplies. So a family member bought me some tools and beads to start me on my way.
As you could probably deduce by now, I fell in love with it. I started investing more into my craft and worked on honing my skills. I love pushing the bounds of what I know and do in order to make new and more unique designs. I've touched in many area of jewelry making, and for a while, earrings were the one thing I felt most comfortable with.
However, about early 2022, I was asked to make a very specific design. Something I had never made before, and I really wanted to give it a shot. I loved the outcome and learned my skills. I decided to let my creativity really flow and began sketching out new ideas every chance I got, so that I would not forget them by the time I sat down to make jewelry next. Up until the fall, I was making new designs constantly and was loving every second of it.
I am getting back into the swing of things, and I could not be happier about it. I am working to be able to set my shop back up and continue selling on Etsy.
