I am (at least) a 3rd generation creative. My m
om owned her own business in which she created cross-stitch items, stenciled and painted barn wood pieces and sewn objects. My father is a handyman who worked with stained glass and photography. My grandmother was a musician, my grandfather a pencil artist. My brother does some pretty epic things with both leather and wood. I guess it's in the blood. I have been creating things all my life, sometimes when I really didn't even want to.. Many a smart comment would find me sanding or stuffing something for my mom's business. However, after dabbling in media after media, I never really felt like I found something significant until the first time I worked with metal - the untamed territory. What began with a simple wire and bead ornament kit that I assembled with my children as gifts has blossomed into a full passion for creating items of beauty. Ever since those ornaments, I feel like I have been on a mission to create as many beautiful pieces as I can, and I feel like my craft is in a constant state of evolution. I custom hand-stamp metal to make jewelry (bracelets, pendants, dog tags and rings) and accessories (keychains, bottle openers) that are personal and meaningful and absolutely affordable. I also custom create specialized, humorous, and sometimes inappropriate pet ID tags. My favorite materials are aluminum, sterling silver, copper, brass, and stainless steel. When the mood strikes me, I create fabulous, one of a kind jewelry. I enjoy being able to personalize items to make them unique and it's a fantastic feeling to know that something I made with my hands will be something special to someone else. I have been doing this since 2009, and after more than 500 orders I still get excited when I make a sale. I truly love what I do, and I hope that comes through in everything I sell.
