My Bio
The first piece of beading I made was actually a Christmas present from my Mother to my Nana. It was an angel bookmark that had been a class at Craft Warehouse. Mom looked at it, decided it was Oh, so simple and that she didn't actually need to take the class because it was just a matter of throwing a couple of beads on a wire and calling it good, right?

Well... no. As it turns out it's a bit more complicated than that.

But I do so love a challenge.

Eventually, the hobby got a bit out of hand and I was selling my pieces (because no one needs that much jewelry, I don't care who you are). And then I was putting some of my pieces in consignment stores.

With out my noticing, my hobby turned into a business that I'd invested several thousand dollars in materials and tools and a ridiculous number of hours into. This happened over the course of several years, not all at once, but the point being that at some point it stopped being a hobby.

It never stopped being something I enjoyed doing, though.

So it's been a long few months: Gearing up for the holidays (then dealing with the actual holidays) has not left me much time for managing my DA account. But Hey, guess what, I'm back now (and I'm sure you've all missed me dreadfully ;)). For Wire Witchery, 2012 was.... well, let's call it optimistically profitable, shall we? A decent amount (considering it was my first full year in business) but certainly nothing I'm going to quit my day job over. That will just have to wait a few more years, I suppose. :fingerscrossed: What can you expect to see more of? Well, obviously, the Bird's nests and Monogram pendants are the most popular items
