The art and business of selling jewelry in a big world.
Growing up on a farm in the heart of Michigan, I constantly marveled at my grandmother's ability to make things, anything. Wonderful breads, slipcovers for chairs, paintings of the pond, mirrors with shells...you get the idea.
After years of being a sales girl in technology, my propeller has started to spin in the opposite direction. My creative side wants out and I am expressing myself through jewelry making. I can feel my grandmother looking in on me now and then with a smile.
The beads and their various applications intrigue me to be sure. What I didn't expect was the fantastic, creative people I would meet in this business. As much as I cherish time at my work table, I relish the time with peers and customers, discussing the sales and marketing aspects of the craft business.
I am not sure where this journey will take me yet, but I truly am going to enjoy the colors along the way!
