Beads are fun. They are tiny little design elements that can be combined in infinite ways to create an artistic statement. I enjoy mixing and matching beads; trying a variety of combinations until just the right one surfaces. Many sizes and shapes and all colors...it is a joy and a challenge to find the right design.
Earrings are generally faster to make than a necklace or bracelet, and an evening of work will result in three or more pair. Recently I have begun pairing charms with beads to create earrings with a specific theme. I am starting to look beyond my bead box for other design elements that can incorporated into my work.
In the three years that I have been making jewelry, I have given pieces as gifts to almost everyone I know. My mother has earrings to match every one of her outfits. My jewelry box is overflowing. What to do with all these beads? My daughter-in-law, Katie, suggested that I open an online store. After a lot of thought I decided to go for it. Now I am an entrepreneur.
