I started making jewelry when I couldn't find the prefect set to wear to my cousin's wedding in 2010. I fell in love. I love feeling wire curl in my fingers, love watching beads sparkle across my work desk. I love seeing something take shape and take life before my eyes. Creating something beautiful is a unique experience and it really brings me joy.

I love to work with natural stones, semiprecious or simply pretty. I love to work with silver wire. I started out using the less expensive stuff, but oh my, doesn't that shine and smooth finish make the splurge on silver worth while?

Since I started beading in 2010 I have seen my work evolve to a much more (at least I think so) sophisticated, elegant style. I pull a great deal of inspiration from other beautiful pieces I see on Etsy, in jewelry stores, and in nature. That's the fun for me, I see something beautiful and want to express it though my jewelry. Most of the time I end up with something completely different than I initially anticipated, but there in lies the adventure.
