My history of Crafting

I learned  crafting by experience , enhanced  it by chance, and will continue doing it by choice.

I started selling my own handmade jewelry when i was 8 years old out of desperation to have money to buy my candy. I made necklaces and earrings made from my fathers scrap transformers of radios - a copper coated thin wire, and beads which i took from my sister's ballet costume. I sold my items to my classmates and made my own money enough to buy my candy, and finally my father helped me out until I finally  ran out of wires and couldn't find any more scrap radios from my father's collection. There my first journey of wire and bead crafting began and ended shortly. Then the situation shifted to learning making roses made of of plastic ribbon when we used to do bouquets for a lot of occasions. I was just a helper and observer, a young girl carefully watching those hands making bouquets, and other decorations. And then there is my father. He carved stones, woods, and anything he can hold in his hands is made possible into something. Unfortunately, i didn't get that skill of carving. That became my inspiration and the books that I have read, and the people who shares the same interest as mine.

I considered crafting as a hobby or something to do when I am not busy. I was making earrings and necklaces for friends and for myself. I use  beads, threads and wires to do my accessories. And then I was introduced to gemstones  and had the chance to learn to cut and polished my own cabochons. Now my accessories are varied, mostly made of genuine gemstones found in the different mining sites of Tanzania , Mozambique and the rest of Africa.

For those with genuine desire for Gemstones, i hope you can find something from my works which satisfies your passion.

Thank you for visiting my site. Please come again.

Lovingly yours,
