One of my favorite crafty hobbies is making jewelry. Designing and handcrafting jewelry was not something I did as a kid, unless you count stringing the large plastic beads on elastic cord. My desire to start making jewelry stemmed from a couple of things dating back to 2004. Fresh out of a divorce, I really didn’t know what to do with my time. At that time, my sister worked in a bead and jewelry supply shop owned by her then-boyfriend-now husband’s family. I went to visit her one day and that’s all she wrote.
My creations include earrings, bracelets, and zipper pulls. My sister was my teacher in all things beads and jewelry. She taught me how to create patterns with different shapes, colors, and styles of beads. After I picked a pattern, she then went on and showed me how to turn my design into a pair of fashion earrings, a bracelet, or even a necklace. I was hooked from that moment, and still create jewelry pieces today.
