I have been making things for as long as I can remember!

It think it all started in KS with a stapler and a piece of felt-I needed a purse to put all of my jewels in!

Moving to WI, I fell in love with making more than just purses, but clothes and customizing them by batiking. Painting on fabric turned into painting with acrylics and customizing my clothes/outfits turned into making jewelry-my love of rocks was the bonus.

In college in OK, I fell in love with weaving (yes, more bags and wearable art) AND small metal design to show off my rock collection in big silver jewelry. After college at UCO, I taught high school for three years while discovering that I loved to use watercolors and I longed to learn more about Art History.

So...I moved back to WI to obtain my MA. I lost my acetylene tank along the way, but found new 'cold' ways to make jewelry. While studying I still made lots of stuff here and there on the loom and painted with watercolors so I decided to take a shot at craft shows in the summer time....after that my Etsy shop was born!

After one long winter I decided that a trip to Tucson, AZ for the big gem & mineral show was a must! I filled my purse with rocks and hauled around a few pounds running from show to show to find exactly what I needed to make a new jewelry line that I am currently sharing. All of the pieces are intended to dress up or down, be worn by themselves or layered, and priced to be shared!

I hope you enjoy what I have to offer in my shop to adorn yourself & "rock out"!
