The product of having itching hands


I've sold to the ladies at work and to family members.. I'm beginning this project with my best foot forward. This is me. This is my work. This is what I love.

I have made things since I was a kid. Growing up in the Mojave Desert of California and the Sonoran Desert of Arizona, I always had a fasination with rocks,nature, native americans, and the earth. When I was a kid I remember taking old t shirts and cutting them up, taking the pink flowers off the bush in the back yard and using it to make dye for the old shirts. I'd cut upart the fabric after it dried in the Arizona summer months... so about 2 minuites? lol. Then i'd sew dresses for barbie.. I always turned her into an indian. I ruined many barbies with war paint made of of oil pastels..(does not wash off!)
I picked up jewelry making when one of my best friends took me to "Beads Galore" in Tempe, AZ. I was amazed at all of the beautiful colors, shapes and textures. She took me to her house and taught me how to crimp the crimp beads, use the memory wire, and the rest is history. I've been hooked ever since :)
