I began making jewelry as a hobby about six years ago.  I have always loved rocks and crystals and while visiting my Aunt Marge and Uncle Jim in Arizona, my uncle gave me an Apache Tear (Obsidian). I wanted to figure out a way to wear this and began buying different wires and findings to try and turn it into a pendant.   I also began buying much, much more....semi precious gemstone beads, metal beads...etc. etc.   I was hooked, but how much jewelry can you make for yourself...a lot to be sure, but I was also giving it as gifts.  People kept remarking, you should sell this, it's really nice!  That started me going to craft shows and doing home parties.  
 

I really love making jewelry, finding new beads and coming up with new designs.  My goal is to provide quality jewelry at a reasonable price.  The majority of my designs are one of kind items.  I rarely duplicate a design.  The exception would be when asked by a customer to design multiples of something for a wedding party or as gifts.  But generally speaking, when you buy one of my designs, you are not going to see it on someone else.
