I have always been creative.....when I was young I was always drawing and my favorite class in high school was Visual Communications, I even filled a spare with an extra class......my friends thought I was crazy to give up free time but I looked forward to that extra time in the lab. I learned how to use a 35mm camera, develop pictures in a dark room, make multi level silk screen prints and operate a printing press. I loved it!! Now that I am older I can say that I wish I would have pursued or even further developed my skills further. The creative side of me went into hiding for a long time and was scratching at the surface trying to come out again. It was a couple of years ago that I felt a strong urge to "create" but I didn't know what that was to be. I had purchased a digital SLR and enrolled in a class.....I thought.."this is it!" but it wasn't. I do enjoy taking pictures but I can't say that it comes naturally like a lot of talented photographers out there. The jewelry making has taken a few different directions already and I find myself still trying to figure out my "niche"......I tried making alot of beaded stuff, little earrings, stretch bracelets and now on to the bigger funkier stuff. If I were to describe my personal style I think I would say I was Classy with a bit of Sassy mixed in. I am always looking for the bit of "funky" to add to anything that I do so perhaps this is what my jewelry will be reflective of....I am excited to be able to nurture the creative in me and I am equally as excited to be learning more about the spiritual side of me. I am always open to learning and growing and I open my hands and heart to what the next steps may be......
Here are a few different things I have come up with lately.
