Somewhere along the way, I became a jewelry designer. This is my career, no joke. Along the years, I have learned almost everything there is in jewelry making that doesn't involve a torch or a kiln.
I have two lines of jewelry. "Original Beadwork" encompasses all of things that I create with mostly beads. "Will-O-Wisp Wire" is my jewelry that features all handmade wire components.
I have been specializing in wire work since 2007, but have been making and selling jewelry in various styles since 2002. I hand-make almost all of the components used in my designs. I make clasps, ear wires, connectors, and charms in all shapes and sizes. I take pride in what I do, and pay close attention to functionality, wearability, proportion and form. I work at, teach classes at, and sell my jewelry and handmade findings at a bead store called Manifest Beads in Milford, Ct: http://www.manifestbeads.com/. My jewelry is also available at an artisan's cooperative called The Jewelry Cafe: 220 South Main St, Southbury Ct http://www.thejewelrycafe.com/, and at Sobobo Gallery in Walnut Beach, Milford, Ct. Online, I sell my handmade findings at http://www.originalbeadwork.etsy.com/. Also online, I have a cooperative store of my own which features jewelry and rosaries by four different artists that I know (not including my own stuff) which is http://www.beadworkartists.etsy.com/.
This is where I sometimes write about my woes and successes about my career in jewelry making.
