Whats my Style

In going through my jewelry photos from the last few years, it's clear to me that I have no style. And by "no style" I just mean that there's no one defining theme among the different pieces I've designed over the years. There are so many types of pieces I like to create that I've never settled on one ... well, style.

Some people focus on creating with semi-precious stones. Which I use.

Others focus only on Swarovski crystals. Which I also use.

Some love pearls...which I definitely do.

Others only work in metal. Again...I love to work with metals.

So where is my niche?

I think maybe in the next few months I’ll see if I actually have one. :) Maybe it's the Attention Deficit Disorder talking, but I really think that being eclectic is something I need to embrace. If I work with stones one day and freshwater pearls the next, maybe that's okay. And who says stones and Freshwater pearls can't go together?

One thing I know...making jewelry is my passion, it drives me and inspires me and does it really matter if I have a particular style…….

Interview with myself

 Interview with myself

Describe your artistic style.
My artistic style honestly varies from day to day. I see pieces and think about what best 

will make that bead come alive. I make pieces for the girly girl with lots of sparkle and 
glam, as well as pieces for the modern woman that will complement any outfit from day 
to night. I like to make pieces that are unique and stylish. I am continually growing and 
learning different techniques to add into my designs.

What inspires you as a designer-artist?

I cannot really pin down what inspires me to create each unique piece. Many times, there’s
something about the colors, shapes and layout of my materials that just speaks to me:  I have
always loved to do artistic things, and with the enticing world of beads, and their myriad of
shapes, colors, and textures, the design possibilities are endless. I am always thinking about
new ways to put designs together so that each component is enhanced by those around it,
and with the intention that each piece of jewelry is unique as the person wearing it.  "I'll see
certain colors and shapes and I just have to put them together!"

The crazy life I live

What to write about ...... that is the question????    or even where to start as writing has never been my strong point.....I get so many ideas in my head and I don't know where to start.....
 so for now I think I am going to go work on my new website but don't worry I will be back cause I plan on covering topic's such as what are base metals? the different Swarovski crystal coatings? current accessory trends, and of course all the updates and new designs added to website.
