Penny, owner & designer of the handmade jewelry pieces of Earthly Jewels |
WHERE IT STARTEDI remember the very first jewelry i ever made was when I was in 5th grade. It was from a company that sends out bead kits to be assembled.
You receive the package with all the components to make a pair of weaved, seed bead earrings and then you send the finished item back. At the time they receive it back, you get paid for that pair of earrings. I happily one but i never sent it back but kept it for myself. I fell in love with making jewelry and from then on, i have tried different materials and mediums to create unique pieces and sell them to friends, co-workers, bazaars and eventually online. I have tried different beads, stones, resin, metals, paper and so many other things. And now, i discovered glass, particularly fused & dichroic glass. This material always sparks an inspiration within because in the process of fusing, you really can't know exactly what the outcome will be. It is like allowing a sense of mystery to take over when fusing and seeing what is given to you once you open that kiln. my jewelry todayI have tried different beads, stones, resin, metals, paper, wires and so many other things.
