I've been creating jewelry for a long time- since middle school! I love that there are endless possibilities for all the beads I've accumulated over the years (really, I might be at a million beads by now!). As a result, many of my creations are one-of-kind. Sometimes it's just hard to make the same thing twice when my mind is already off to the next design!
A large portion of my beads and other jewelry components are vintage items I've either found at flea markets or online. It's great to find an old necklace that's seen better days, but has some fun/unique/beautiful/colorful etc. beads I can use in my jewelry. There is just so much neat stuff out there to be discovered and used!
The last few years I've been working mainly with brass and antiqued brass wire and findings. Occasionally some sterling silver, but for whatever reason I've been drawn to brass more these days.
I hope you enjoy my shop - lots of hard work and love have been put into all my creations!
