I always loved art, from elementary school I was hooked. Paint, clay, color it was all second nature to me . I love making old things new again, making jewelry that is different and beautiful. Clay is my love , I just love making quirky little sculptures and watching the expressions on peoples faces when they look at them. Art is the ultimate way of expressing yourself.

I was sitting at a birthday party showing My aunt what I had made she said Lella why don't you sell this stuff. Me ,sell my art? no one will buy it is the thought that ran through my head , but she gave me a swift kick in the butt and introduced me to Etsy and LellaBean's was born. it's been about 4 years that I have been selling my stuff , but a lifetime of arts and crafts love is in my soul.

Sitting at my craft table making new little sculptures, or designing a new piece of jewelry is my happy place . sometimes My daughter will sit with me and sculpt her heart out and the end result are fantastic. I think that creating pieces of my art and having it out there for the world to see is best thing in the world . If I can paint it sculpt it or adorn in in sparkle I am one Happy chic.
