Out of My Comfort Zone, into a New Jewelry Love

Russian spiral bracelet, peyote stitch clasp

I found jewelry making by accident when I could no longer work outside my home.

I love cross stitch and would look at stitched jewelry with awe but was intimidated by the thought of trying it.

Simple peyote stitch ring

After 4 years of making simple strung jewelry and being in a rut, I jumped in with both feet with different stitches.

Using Off the Beaded Path and Jill Wiseman tutorials, I have learned peyote stitching, Russian spiral stitching, and the herringbone stitch.

This was exactly the fire under my behind that I needed.

I now am selling my jewelry in a store at a local mall and am getting more custom orders. Now to conquer brick stitch…
