I love to create any design that comes to mind. I especially like pairing unlikely beads together, using sterling and gunmetal in the same creation, dangles, clusters, and dynamic designs. I make earrings for the most part, but occasionally create bracelet and necklace designs. I also bead weave when I'm really in for a challenge. I use peyote and herringbone stitches.

I have work for sale at gritgoods.etsy.com and in downtown Asheville, NC at Pura Vida.

Curio Cabinet Farse and the Wonders of the Universe

So, my wonderful Dad picked up a curio cabinet for me in Charlotte and brought it to his home in Gastonia. Then my boyfriend and I drove from Asheville to Gastonia in a rented van to pick it up from him. 30 seconds before we pulled into the driveway, the cat jumped on top of the curio cabinet, still nestled in my Dad's van, and broke the glass. Can you believe it?

Luckily the universe supplied me with a free piece of glass from a friend here in Asheville. It is great to be surrounded by… Continue

Great News!

I visited two galleries today and they are both interested in carrying my work! I am so excited! They are both in downtown Asheville!

Lets cheer to putting off homework and making jewelry!

New Rings!

Check out the new rings I made! They are on Etsy right now and go perfectly with the green beaded bracelet! I'm working on some other rings with browns and reds. If you have a request for something custom, just let me know. P.S. job still crazy.

My first blog...

This feels exactly like all those times I started a new diary as a little girl "dear diary." Then I would write a couple entries and the diary would never hear from me again. Lets hope blogging has a happier future.
