Have been enjoying creating jewelry since 1989. Back then craft malls were popular and I rented space in several different ones. Enjoyed making and selling my jewelry, doll houses, painted figurines, floral designs. It was a thrill at such a young age to make extra income and know people were wearing a piece of my creativity. Through the years I got more into making jewelry and while living in Texas for a bit I started the fair and festival tour selling my jewelry. That is when you really light up, face to face with your customers and have them really appreciate your work. Even ask for custom pieces to be made while they look around the rest of the fair.
I moved back to California a few years ago and had just stopped creating. Ok well my bead store kind of took over. The drive and passion to create and be face to face with customers has crept back in and I will be participating in local fairs and festivals to sell my jewelry again. It has been exciting to sit and be creative once again. It really does fill your heart and soul with so much when you create. Now is the perfect time to bring back my jewelry designs to Etsy so that I have a chance to create even more.
My designs tend to be a variety of themes from using vintage beads, to economical designs, an array of gemstone both casual and elegant, to fun and kawaii, and then the more romantic renaissance.
Please forgive me ahead of time if I do not take custom orders. It can be difficult at times with my fibromyalgia that causes chronic pain and neuropathy. I create jewelry when my hands allow me to.
