Share Your Background


When and how did you begin making jewelry/beading?
I was in belly dancing and wanted to make a costume myself, so I went online, saw beading design and began.

Who introduced you to beading?
Myself.

Do you have an artistic background?
Nothing of the sort. But I enjoy doing things myself and love it.

How did you discover Fire Mountain Gems and Beads®?
I am user of www.biser.info and found Fire Mountain Gems' site which is the best in the world, thank you so much.

What other hobbies do you have?
Decoupage, making trees and flowers of semiprecious stones and beads, sewing and driving.

Do you belong to any beading societies or beading groups?
I am quite alone, although I would enjoy working together in a community. Unfortunately, there aren't any in Levanger.

Beading Success


What role does jewelry-making play in your life?
It's my hobby and I dedicate every spare minute to it. I cannot imagine my life without it.

If you used jewelry-making as a way to bring in income, how are you selling yourself and your jewelry?
I haven't sold anything yet, and this is my first contest. I am going to the beading festival in Prague in June.

Not yet.

Any advice for aspiring jewelry-artists?
Look for the style of your own.
