I have many interests, including making jewelry, but I arrived here in a roundabout way.
I grew up in the country climbing trees and building forts. I kept up with the neighbor boys and raced them on my bike down our gravel road. When I fell I skinned my knees because I would wear 'play-dresses' instead of jeans. I am a girly-girl at heart, and I love anything pretty and sparkly, especially if it is purple!
During school I studied physics, and I needed a creative outlet not related to math. Thus I began to teach myself how to sew. I wanted to have something to wear that I created myself. Sewing is highly rewarding, but I sometimes just don't have the patience for it.
With jewelry making I was able to have an end product as a reward for my efforts much sooner than if I was sewing a garment. Also I love working with the sparkling crystals. How crystals catch and refract light is fascinating to me, and I love being able to accessorize my outfits with something so beautiful.
Thus my Etsy shop was born. It is the perfect way to showcase my skills. I am able turn a passion into a way to support my family.
