Flea Market Find


I have to say that I am very excited about the direction that I will be taking with the upcoming jewelry collections. I will be incorporating as many vintage/previously used beads as possible. This is not to cut down on material costs, but to cut down on waste.

The more I journey on in the world of designing and creating jewelry, the more I see that there is so much waste in regards to materials. There is an abundance of supplies available already to be used that come from previously discarded pieces or left over from other designs. I just know that I want to be considerate in regards to what I am producing, and the prospects of the future of this really excite me.



I was just at the flea market in my hometown and picked up the beads above beads for some future designs, including those beautiful green gemstone beads on the top right.
