I started making jewelry in my childhood, and never quit. I was originally fascinated by simple seed beads, and slowly branched out from there.

When I was in high school, I started taking classes in different jewelry techniques and forms. I took in all the knowledge I could get my hands on, and used what I could to experiment in every style from intricate designs woven with tiny exact beads, to simply strung stretchy bracelets.

It wasn't until 2012 that I decided to learn how to make my own glass beads. I began teaching myself the ancient art of lamp working and fell in love. I don't claim by any means to have mastered this art, but I love what I can do with it!

There are 3 phases my jewelry goes through in my shop. The first phase is the raw materials phase, where I actually make my beads using a blow torch and glass rods. The second phase is the creative phase where I work my glass into other materials, like chain, wire, and leather, to come up with the earrings, bracelets, and necklaces. And the third phase is getting the jewelry photographed and listed, and really is the most difficult part of the process for me.
