I have always had a love for jewelry. When I was a young child, my dad tells me that I would wear up to 20 bracelets on each wrist & I'd have to walk around with my arms up just to keep them from falling off. Wish I could find a picture!
I went through several different jewelry phases throughout my youth. At one point I was in to wearing a ring on every finger, went back to wearing several bracelets at once (but these fit so I didn't have to keep my hands up) and then there was a time when I wore hoop earrings so large they could literally fit around my neck!
I have always been creative in one form or another. I played piano as a child (mom & dad were right...I regret quitting), took orchestra in junior high, and dabbled in paints in my 20's. I have a journal full of poetry that I wrote in my teens & early 20's, but it wasn't until around 2007 that I started making jewelry. I started out making it for myself, then I started to make pieces for friends and family as gifts. I didn't start selling my pieces until 2009.
