A little about me...
I opened my Etsy shop in 2013, but I've been making jewelry and pursuing creative endeavors for a lot longer. In 7th grade I discovered the bead store in my little town and that opened a wide world to me. Any time I needed a little extra spending money for beads in high school, I'd sell jewelry. Later, making jewelry was a fun way to earn a little extra grocery money when there was more month than funds. My style and skill have evolved, but I have loved the process of making a pair of earrings or necklace. My favorite thing is to observe what my best friends are wearing and create things I know they would love. There was a time I would bring a three-ring binder with baseball card holders filled with earrings to my office job. Some days I'd get the "I forgot my earrings this morning, did you bring the binder?" questions. I did our local farmers market for a couple of summers and met some dear friends in that process. I also owned a bricks and mortar shop for about four and a half years where Feryl Designs was the house line. While that season is over, I still have this shop to share my wares and my paintings for those with whom they might resonate. Periodically, I use jewelry and art sales as a way to support philanthropic initiatives in my community.
