5 out of 5 starsI was really surprised to find a watch to match my red coral jewelry. I'm delighted that nobody beat me to it!

Visiting the German Christmas Market for design inspiration.
About Me.....
My first major craft project was a mixed media picture for my grandma Nonie; I was about 4 or 5 years old. It was a crayon drawing of their farm with embroidery embellishments and sewn on buttons. Honestly, I haven’t stopped crafting since. In college I was a fine art major and planned to become an illustrator. I imagined living in a cool loft space creating designs and illustrations for famous clients. Even though that vision was interrupted and I entered the corporate world instead, I never forgot that dream. I continued to take craft classes to relieve the stress of the corporate world. I have experimented in many different media, but the one constant has been jewelry and lampwork bead making. Friends and Family encouraged me to try selling my work; after reading an article about Etsy in June 2009, my shop opened with two items listed. It was a slow start, but well worth the effort.
The one thing I love about Etsy is connecting with the artist who crafted the item I am purchasing. I’ve found that unlike the mass market, hand crafted items are made with love and attention to detail. I also like the fact that when you buy homemade, you are directly supporting an artist and contributing to their local economy.
I take great pride in my work and strive to find the best quality materials possible. Some of the beads I use in my designs are handmade by me in my studio with glass from Italy. Other beads come from other Etsy artists and small businesses in my local community. I design items that I would love to wear. I hope you will enjoy wearing my jewelry as much as I enjoy making it.
