Clearing off the table
I have always enjoyed making things.... as a matter of fact, there is very little I haven't played with through the years. Knitting, tile laying, candle making, sewing, ... jewelry has always been my favorite thing to doodle with. A real job and three kids have reduced my time to play at my worktable, but my need to have that time has grown logarithmically. Always 3 or 4 projects going at the same time... some day's its about color, some days its about banging on metal or torching. Always experimenting with different things. I can do 'pretty'.. and organic. Both suit me. Lots of friends I have made things for through the years, lately pushing me to open this store. I have more stuff I have made than I can wear myself, and I am mainly looking to get replacement cost for the materials I use. I hate using cheap stuff, and I avoid it at all costs. Gold filled and silver filled when I can afford it, copper, brass, or bronze when I can't. Never plastic, acrylic, or resin beads. I love the beauty of natural stones and metals. Especially love to recycle old beads and found objects.
