About 23 years ago I fell in love with these bracelets that I saw made from lamp work beads. I couldn't really afford them so I set out on a journey to find them so I could make my own. I started beading and that was the beginning of my love of jewelry. Then I met a lovely lady who made the most wonderful organic artisan religious pieces of jewelry. I really couldn't afford that so I decided I would learn how to wax carve and make my own. It was at this time one night in my sleep I had this idea. Themed slides. I got to work. I had a friend, Margie Mersky who is a master wax carver and she and I started creating my line "Our Passions" all themed artisan made charms/slides. Great idea, right? Yes, it was and it wasn't until about 6 months later I discovered that Pandora had already thought of it!! Oh well, I like mine better. And so it continues. New ideas, new charms and always creating!

I hope you enjoy my designs. and I hope you have as much fun as I do with the creative process. Thank you for supporting me!
