What is your shop?
Sweet Vibrations (http://www.sweet-vibrations.com)
What is your art/craft?
Wire Wrapped Jewelry.
Describe your style in 2 words:
Simple Elegance.
What is your favorite piece and why?
My favorite piece always seems to be the last one I made
I love natural stones and their nature marred markings. I began wrapping because so many people seem to focus on the wrapping and not the stone. My wrapping is designed to enhance the stone not overshadow it.
What is the most memorable piece of advice you’ve ever received?
The most memorable piece of advice I ever received was from my father. It is actually in two parts. The first part: Live is short. The second part: You will always succeed at whatever passion you pursue.
What is the one piece of advice you’d give?
Develop a business side to complement your artist side. There are many talented artists…there are fewer who can make a living at their passion. This takes a practical business side to complement your artistic side.
