What is your favorite medium to work with?
I'm a big fan of copper. I love the color of it. It's also very easy to bend, flex and shape.
Have you done custom designs for your jewelry?
I LOVE custom orders. I've done quite a few and try to NEVER do the same design twice. I just like the idea that when someone purchases a piece from me, they know they have a one-of-a-kind piece of wearable artwork.
What inspires you?
Everything.... my freinds, family.... nature... the seasons.... new trends.... combining new ideas with old ones.... recycling and upcycling.... I find inspiration literally in everything and everyone.
I do just about everything.... knitting, crocheting, sewing (I have a custom costume shop on Artfire as well), singing, dancing, acting, drawing, cross stitching, embroidery (by hand not machine), bead weaving, canning and preserving.... cooking, baking, lampworking beads, glass fusion and slumping.... You name it, I've probably tried it out.
If you had no other obligations, how much time would you spend crafting?
A lot. I would estimate about 6-8 hours a day.
Have you ever hurt yourself making jewelry?
All the time. I tried chainmaille once. I loved the end product but it hurt my hands and I got poked and pinched a LOT. I only do chainmaille now by request... and for a price.
I'm beginning to work with flat wire and working on using more pieces of broken vintage jewelry and watch parts into my newer pieces. Makes for an interesting collaged effect.
More of the same I think. Teaching music by day, crafting in my "spare" time.
Anything else you'd like to share?
I also have a costume shop on Artfire, Gypsy Threads and if you'd like to place a custom order in time for Halloween... act NOW. I fill up quickly.

Beautiful artwork! The 'Little Blossom' pendant in Fools and Jewels Artfire store is stunning! What is bead weaving?
ReplyDeleteBead weaving is where you literally weave beads through thread on a loom. Native Americans have used this method to make beaded belts for centuries. It's the first beading I ever learned to do.
