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 growing up. At one point I was in to wearing a ring on every finger. Then I went back to wearing several bracelets at once (but these fit so I didn't have to keep my hands up). There was also a time when I wore hoop earrings so large the hoops actually 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 simple pieces for myself, then I started to make pieces for friends and family as gifts. Jewelry making is a hobby for me, but people started to take interest, so I started selling pieces in 2009.
