Making stuff is (almost) as necessary to me as breathing. I live to create. Back in the day, my creations were in the form of singing and acting performances. But now I have also found much satisfaction in the creation of material decorative items.

But what to make when there are so many choices? My first venture into small business was in the 90s, when I made window clings and sold them at craft fairs and wholesale. Did quite well with it for several years, too!

At the dawn of the new century I found myself in a challenging financial situation, so I closed my business and went back to office work. After a few years of getting myself back together, I began to make stuff again.

I knew that I wasn't up to doing the craft circuit again, neither physically, nor in terms of the time required. But then came several art classes, and Etsy. And I knew that I needed to focus on one thing that I really enjoyed making, and then work constantly (or as much as I could in my free time) at making it better.

So here we are, me a polymer clay, digital art and mixed media jewelry artist who continues to work at her day job full time, but always having the most fun making stuff to share with you!
