I am a native Minnesotan currently residing in SW Kansas. I work in a small school district as a K-5 general music teacher. I love my job. My family all live in northern MN and includes my brother, sister, brother-in-law, 3 beautiful nieces, mom and dad. I see them as often as I can.... about 4 times a year.
I have lots of interests outside of jewelry making. I also sew costumes and have studio on Art Fire for those. I knit, crochet, cross stitch, sing, act and when I get the chance I like to go dancing with my BF. This summer I've also become quite the home canner as well.
I am an animal lover. I have an old kitty, Ayesha, who's 16 human years old. She can be kind of a needy child but she's been my baby for 16 years. It's kind of like having a teenager who's a senior citizen. I also have a love for reptiles and have many pet corn snakes. I breed and raise them for pet shops and other pet owners. I find it very interesting and fascinating.
I started making jewelry about 8 years ago. I had picked up some jewelry making tools and wire at Michael's one Christmas break. On the very first day of Spring Break, I injured one of my feet.... walking to the phone in socks that were too large for me. Silly I know.... but I'm just graceful like that. Anyways, I was forced to spend that entire week off my feet with the injured one elevated. I planted myself on the couch behind a card table and made jewelry all week long. I just continued and grew from there. I now try my hand at any variety of jewelry making techniques, though wire wrapping is my favorite.

ReplyDeleteLove the earrings! Great post. My son has an albino corn snake that he has had for over 7 years. I think its about 6 feet long now. They do make good pets.
