I have been creative for many years and got into pendant making by accident. My father had told me how my grandmother used to fry marbles and make broaches and hatpins out of them. I started making pendants with fried marbles and had a store make a very large order and I was hooked.

I've always been into wire wrapping and have even put out my own dvd series to teach others. I started doing my own fused glass and polymer clay work for a few years. I started my own perfume pendant line. I then got into mixed media pendant making with resin. I then got into making my own glass eyes two years because there wasn't many taxidermy eyes to choose from. I was the FIRST person on Etsy to start offering handmade glass eyes. I make and offer my own designs to keep them unique. I am always learning and trying to expand my business.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my work. I've created for a living for the last 15 years. I feel I have been blessed, as most people on Etsy don't do as well. I love to create and when someone wears my work... it means more than just buying something. It's the fact I know that I made something one of a kind and the person wearing my work, values it. Anyone can buy jewelry from china and resell it. I love to create and try new things. I've worked with many mediums over the years and like to combine them. I have found myself making and selling a lot of my own supplies... so I have less time to make pendants. I also want to create for a cause. Anyone can just pocket the money but I want my efforts to somehow help others. I hope you become a customer and friend. We all need people in business and life. I will be making keychains in the near future as some people don't like to advertise that autism affects their life somehow.
