Did-it Designs
In early school report cards, teachers would write,
“Encourage her in art; she shows great potential.” Thankfully, I have been able
to enjoy a lifetime of creating art and crafts of all sorts, which have sold in
local stores and the McKenzie Art Gallery. I am a relative newcomer to the art
of jewellery-making, having received instruction on bracelet-making from a
co-worker in the past couple of years. My husband is pretty happy with my new
venture, as jewellery-making takes up way less room in our home than my
Christmas craft supplies!
Since making my first bracelet, I have added earrings and
necklaces to my repertoire. I am fascinated by the ability to put together
one-of-a-kind jewellery pieces using glass, semi-precious stones, wood and
metal. Colour and texture inspire my creations and I would define my style as
“eclectic.” As I experiment with new
materials and techniques, I find my work is evolving to new levels. My desire
is to create pieces that evoke a positive emotional response from every wearer.
I hope you will find as much joy in wearing my jewellery as I do in making it.
