Introduction	Working with beads and designing jewelry has been my hobby and my life in a special way for many years. What kick started my interest in art was when my teacher brought her son to teach us how to draw in 3rd grade. I was pretty much hooked after that. My parents got me started by buying me a starter kit and, like any parent, they thought I was quite the little artist. Art brought happiness, joy, and a sense of purpose in my life as well as a way of expressing myself that I never had before. A new pathway opened up for me and by then I knew I wanted to be an artist. When I was 12 my neighbor showed me her mother's jewelry tools and some of the gems she had found on digs. Since I already had a passion for stones this sparked my curiosity. A couple years later I decided that I wanted to try jewelry making but since my school offered no classes on the craft I resorted to books and taught myself with hours of frustration and failure until I improved upon my techniques. I soon realized that working with beads and wire was something that I could see myself doing for the rest of my life. No matter the risks I was more than willing to pursue my new beloved hobby and make it my life.
