About this Blog

Hello and welcome to my Blog!   I started this Blog as a way to share my jewelry creations, keep track of all my projects, and share my love for jewelry making! I’ve always loved jewelry, but I only just started making jewelry in September of 2018. It started as a hobby to occupy myself while my daughters made bracelets with pony beads.  Within a few months, it became an obsession. I started with simple bracelets, but now I’ve tried all kinds of projects- double and triple strand necklaces and bracelets, floating necklaces, memory wire bracelets, chains, stretch cord, beading wire, square knot hemp bracelets and anklets, pendant making, beaded lanyards, and earrings. I just started using 49 strand beading wire- it’s more expensive but it’s really flexible and perfect for floating necklaces. I get my inspiration mostly from my own taste and just by looking at the beads I have and deciding what looks good together. Of course I’ve also spent a lot of time on Pinterest. I also love Fire Mountain Gems and Michael’s.  Fire Mountain Gems is based out of Oregon- their website is the best thing ever. They seriously have everything a jewelry maker could ever want, and then some. I won’t even tell you how much money I’ve spent on that site. 😝. As of February 1st, I now have an Etsy Shop! Just go to Etsy and search for JewelrybyKristiW. I’d love to have your feedback! Feel free to leave comments!
