I am a mother of two, 19 years old daughter and 6 years old son. I always dreamed of having a store, being my own boss and work the hours I wanted to work. Making jewelry for many years now, I found my niche and work mostly on metal work ear cuffs. My art is not limited to metal, but I also make fabric flowers, calligraphy, polymer clay things, crochet work, and continuously try to learn something new. I believe it is important to keep oneself busy with learning as the learning process in life never ends. Having a degree in Secretarial Science was not necessarily fulfilling for me. I wanted to use my hands always, to make new things. I remember since I was a little girl, I made my own paper dolls and dressed them up with paper dresses I had made myself as well. They were princesses and I felt so proud of my work at the early age of 9. Well, to keep this story short, I heard about Etsy from somebody at a store and I told myself, I might have to give it a try. The first two years were terrible as far as selling, I would sell maybe three items in a total of a year, I got to the point where I almost quit, but then again, the desire and the challenge were up for me. So, doing research, and a little brainstorming I came up with the items you see in my shop. I found that metal was it without even knowing it. Never thought I would love to work with metal so much. Here I am today, still working on my skills and encouraging others to pursue their dreams. Thank you for taking the time to read this and hope that you find it somewhat inspirational. Berenice
