When I retired, I had absolutely no idea that I would end up turning my passion and love for jewelry into an art. I am constantly on the hunt for jewelry pieces and even drawn to them as I watch shows or movies!! So with a passion for creativity and design, I began crafting unique and beautiful jewelry art. After being only to give family and friends so many pieces, I decided I should start participating in craft shows which I have now done for just over a year. Every piece is a work of art, designed to bring joy and beauty to those who own it. I have done many craft shows meeting so many wonderful people and sharing precious heartwarming stories. Receiving compliments beyond anything I could have imagined. I make it all by myself sitting in my little corner surrounded by my jewels and frames. When placing pieces together, it typically just falls into place for me, but I do have times I have to think on it. I will wake up and say to myself, "that's what's missing!" Even when gluing the final layout, I have been known to change it! In any event, it brings me peace, joy and relaxation. I hope to see you at a future craft show so that we can share stories and you may see my work in person as it is more beautiful in person.
