I have been collecting and making things with beads since I realized I had fingers. This is a total obsession for me. You may notice along the way that my shop appearance changes in waves. I'm a voracious collector of beads of all kinds. I rarely ever have a plan for them. The beads seem to create their own jewelry, actually. I'm just here to hold the tools for them.
I found that I had so many different types of beads that I was forced to put some of the overflow into other shops. If you like casual style gemstone and lampwork jewelry, come see me at www.coppernichols.etsy.com. If bold, modern statement jewelry is your thing, you can find a few of my creations here www.rocktopolis.etsy.com. I also have a shop called TheCroppingBlock which is normally filled with fantastic paper and scrapbooking designs, but I had to put that shop on hiatus for awhile.
If you have any questions I'd love to hear from you!
