I started my crafting life as a costume designer, making anything from corsets to curtains. I loved making costumes, and found a life making costumes for myself (as a circus performer) and others in the circus as well. Then I was lucky enough to find a job making costumes for a few troupes! But then one day, low and behold, a friend gave me a box of beads and findings, a few books on beading, and my trip down the beaded path really began.

I read every beading book I could get my hands on, subscribed to a few beading magazines, and started collecting beads to work on projects that interested me. As my bead stash, and my skill level, grew, I began to venture outside of the projects I found in beading books and magazines and made some of my own designs. Several friends said my creations were good enough to sell, but I still waited a bit. Fast forward a few years, and I found Etsy. I started taking pictures of my creations, posting them online, and selling stuff!

Now I spend my time between sewing, beading, training, photography, and working a full time job. I love that I can share my creations with everyone, and I hope that you can find something in my store that you will wear with pride and that will make you smile. If you see something in my shop that you might like in a different color, a different size, made from a different material, or you've got an idea that you wanna throw my way, please feel free to send me an email and lets talk about making you your next favorite piece of jewelry!

Happy Shopping!
