• Where do you sell your creations? And what makes what you do special or different? I sell my creations through my Facebook page for now and just starting to test the waters with this beautiful handmade market. I hand knot each bead and take my time with designing the necklaces for benefits of the gemstones as well as for appeal.

• What is the most rewarding part of what you do? I enjoy the feeling of creating beautiful pieces that people enjoy and knowing that I made that piece while still caring full time for my family at home.

• What is your favourite product that you make? I love to make the necklaces - they are my favourite focus. But some people prefer bracelets so I need to be versatile for everybody.

• Do you teach classes or workshops? I don’t teach how to make the jewellery - but I do custom design working with people in what they would like for their individual piece..
