I have had a love for arts and crafts since childhood. I contribute this love to my grandmother who was always making something. She worked with her hands so much she had the nickname “Jack” for Jack of all trades. I wanted to start a home based business and sell what I made. But, I didn't know what to make. 
After much thought and searching I decided on making jewelry out of natural materials. This has been very therapeutic. My jewelry has become a hit at art and craft shows . Now it is time to share my creations with a larger audience. From the Earth Jewelry has become a family project. My daughters are my consultants. They have to give each piece their approval and if its “cool”. Sometimes they help design and make the pieces. My husband has been very supportive and helps in so many ways. He is excellent doing all his "Honey do's". My middle son (who is a teen now) wants to go to shows with me. This is the time we can talk and be together. Wow, a teenager that wants to be with his mommy!
I not only sell my jewelry at art and craft shows but also in shops and online. I have added a new collection to my jewelry. This new collection is upcycled or repurposed jewelry. I make it from anything that has already been used like soft drink cans, plastic cups, computer parts, just to name a few. It is lots of fun! Making Jewelry has become a love and passion. It is my desire that you enjoy wearing your From the Earth Jewelry as much as I enjoyed making it. I also hope that it will make you aware of the beauty that is around you and aware of our environment. Enjoy!
