Share Your Background
When and how did you begin making jewelry/beading?
I have been working with real stone for 9 yrs. now. I got started because I like real stones and other jewelry that I see does not pass my standards because hardly see that anyone uses finished fittings.
Who introduced you to beading?
I taught myself because I knew that no one would work with real stones and use the higher end fittings.
Do you have an artistic background?
I am self-taught.
How did you discover Fire Mountain Gems and Beads®?
I wanted to buy better materials than what is in the store so I went on line and found Fire Mountain. And liked what I saw.
What other hobbies do you have?
I like to knit sweaters with a knitting machine.
