About Me:

Since the age 18, I've loved the art of jewelry design, crochet and sewing. I am a self taught artisan designer and loving mother. Reaching into myself to find and embrace my creativity.

I started creating jewelry in 2006 as a stress reliever during hard and troubled times. After a while, I learned a few techniques from a from a few good designer friends of mine who helped me unlearn what I have learned,explore new ways of creating and encouraged me to share my craft.

I started to create gifts for family and friends. After many compliments,
i starting making custom orders ..soon word of mouth spread. In May 2007 I got my feet wet and sold my wears as a vendor in NYC..followed by opening my Etsy shop in June 2007 and now, I am a seller on Silkfair with three consignment contracts and features/blogs on Indiepublic, Ning,Twitter, Myspace, Blogger,Flickr...to name a few:)

My mission statement: In today's economy, my mission is to offer affordable quality handmade jewelry, crochet and artisan crafts inspired by many medians, cultures and styles from career conservative to urban chick. Using precious and hypo-allergenic metals, semi-precious stones, polymer, ceramics, lampwork & recycled materials. I desire to share my love for color, uniqueness, quality, artistic expression, and support for the ancient art of handmade craftsmanship.

Got Inspiration? Check out the inspirational hip hop & R&b song “I Will Make It” by Niva feat Kamal Imani
“I Will Make It” inspires you to keep the faith and believe in yourself! What more can we say! Keep your spiritual energy up and rock to this. And, remember to look to the person on your left and on your right and tell them “I Will Make It”! Can I get an AMEN?
