My passion is art and beauty, currently manifesting in the form of making jewelry and (mostly) hoarding lots of beautiful and amazing gemstones. But I adore looking at others work, and admiring genius and creativity. Not for ripping off (because that's a sad thought, lacking independent inspiration), but just to be awed. Also because I want to fill my house and life with art. About to gut a tiny little cottage and redo it, and my policy is to have as much amazing, OOAK, handmade decor as possible. Art to be handed down through the generations! I enjoy making work of my own, but that's mainly because I enjoy the process of learning and making stuff. I sell jewelry, but not the other works I make, and if I design I have comes a little too close to someone else's signature style (through collective conclusion and accident), I usually just keep it for myself. I'm not really in it for money, so I have no desire to steal someone's customers.

The other big love of my life is animals, especially horses. Totally digging nature, I am lucky enough to have room for horses on a property surrounded by woods.

Always love to talk to other artisans and equestrians! If I've faved a photo of yours (and I'm a total addict to this) it's because something about it has made me go "wow". If it's a photo of something you've made, you've doubly impressed me, and I probably want it. I may never have enough money for all the art I want, but the least I can do is tell you how awesome your work is, right?
