Growing up, my parents encouraged the pursuit of any creative hobby, and usually provided the materials to get started, too! For me, it really started when I was 16, with some wire wrapping tools and a "have at it" from my mom. Later, I discovered that I really loved working with fine chain, and making jewelry that didn't involve anything fiddly or weak like paper or tying knots.

Eventually, I took a Metals & Jewelry studio class in college that solidified my crafting tastes: I work best with sturdy materials! I thrive when I try to figure out different ways to use the materials, and I love that it takes patience and sometimes a lot of problem-solving to make what I have in my head into reality!

I've taken some time away from crafting while life did some wild things, but I'm stubbornly trying again with another shiny new toy: stained glass. I hope to capture the beautiful facets of breakable things, so valued because they are so ephemeral. With over 25 years of crafting experience, this promises to be one of my favorite adventures yet!

I hope my craft will be a blessing to you and yours <3

God Bless,

Lucy
