About kathyalderfer

Sales 345
On Etsy since 2008
  • What's on my bead table?
  • A mix of ingredients simmers for "bead soup."
  • A sample piece from the simmering "bead soup."
  • "Spirit of the Caribbean"
  • Getting published in several magazines marks the realization of a dream for me. ("Red Poppy" is #3)

I realized that I needed a creative outlet and that I could learn to make jewelry!

I decided in one quick decision that I wanted to learn how to make jewelry and sell it too! I set out on this venture in making jewelry in 2006. I took a class at our local Michaels store, then taught myself the rest. I have been designing and making jewelry ever since.

With the exception of bookkeeping, I love every aspect of making jewelry. I am mostly inspired by the true colors we find in nature, especially the cool color combinations that occur naturally. I am the sole worker in my studio. I do it all!

My work has been published in various issues of Stringing Magazine and Bead Style Magazine.

ACCURACY OF REPRESENTATION

I will do my best to accurately represent the jewelry pictured. Be certain to take advantage of the numerous photographs posted for each listing. Also please take a careful look at the measurements I provide. Earrings are measured from the top of the ear wire. Necklaces are measured without the extension. If an extension is available, the additional length is noted. Take particular care to notice the length of bracelets to make sure that the item will be a good fit for you.

THANK YOU

Thanks so much for your time and interest. I appreciate your business! I am honored that you have chosen to accent your wardrobe with an Artful Accents creation!
