About Me:: I've always really enjoyed any kind of craft. For as long as I can remember, I've been getting into the latest crafts and really loving anything handmade. I love scrapbooking, knitting and sewing. One day, someone got me into beading, and from there, it was all over. I started making jewelry out of all kinds of beads. Then, as I got a little better, I started working with wire and chains. And "eco-friendly" friend of mine got me interested in "eco-fashion", and I began working with a lot of natural gemstones and even some recycled materials. I made a lot of jewelry for myself and as gifts for friends, until I realized how much money I was spending on all my supplies. Family and friends convinced me that my work was good enough to start a business with, so I did just that. I'm currently working on expanding my business as I continue to enjoy designing and creating my one of a kind pieces. I'm also enrolled in the Fashion & Retail Management program at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh (Online Division) to help me with the technical aspect of things.

I am a/an:: Independent Artist/Designer, Supporter, Shopper, Independent Retailer

(Designers only) I create:: One of a kind jewelry. I work with glass and acrylic beads, natural and dyed gemstones, sterling silver and 14K gold-filled wire, chains, components, etc. I have even used some recycled materials, and some reused materials from old pieces of jewelry.

(Designers only) My work is sold at:: The Look (in the Hilo Shopping Center), my personal website (www.erintokuuke.com), and my Etsy shop.

Favorite Designers/Artists:: My talented roommate (Eeseeo - www.eeseeo.com, HI-T - Custom Tee Shirt Shop), Tarina Tarantino, John Galliano
