As some of my readers know, I am Street Angel on Etsy.Com. I really enjoy making jewelry and epecially seeing it on someone other than me.
I have hosted some amazing artists who inspired me to take a chance and create something worth selling. I have always felt somewhat creative, dabbling in writing, painting or photography and it has been fun. Creating a piece of jewelry is very exciting. Wearing it and having someone acknowledge it, thrilling.
How did you get started?
I have hosted some great Etsy artists on my blog and have always tried to be creative. One day I took apart and earring that I had lost the mate to and made a necklace. Then I took apart a necklace and made three pairs of earrings. It was fun, therapeutic and really exciting to create something from what would have in the past been put in the garbage.
Where do you get your inspiration?
In the beginning, it just happened. I simply took components, put them together and hoped it looked good. As I move along I have noticed a shift, I love playing with colors and base everything on a feeling which is exactly how I do my photography. Feelings are a create source of creativity and as an emotional person I have plenty of them.
What do you love most about what you do?
I love seeing the product at the end and hearing my daughter say, "that's beautiful". I also love wearing something I created and having someone in the outside world ask, "where did you get that?" Now I just pass them my card after saying, "Oh thank you, I made this."
In 10 years I want....to be happy, healthy and still creating things I love. Hopefully as a family business. My children, especially my daughter loves making jewelry and naming them for me.
