How I Got Started

This is my first post of my first blog. Let me tell you a little about myself. I started making jewellery about 5 years ago as a way to expend some creative energy (my job as a cruise ship photographer was very uncreative at the time) and also to learn some patience. Making jewellery was great for both of those things. It took quite a while before I managed to make anything noteworthy. Once I started wearing my unusual pieces around the cruise ship where I was working, I got lots of comments from my fellow crew members and it wasn't long before the orders were coming in. Since then I have moved on land, back to my hometown of Collingwood. I have had a chance to try peddling my wares at festivals and art shows, but mostly I just make jewellery for the joy of it.
