I love creating jewelry - earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and more. A little of this, a little of that; playing with colors, textures, and different materials and techniques. My handcrafted designs represent ME - they are bold, colorful, and always make a statement!

I quit my "real" job in 2007 to focus on jewelry design full time, and named my business Sweet Freedom Designs, signifying my freedom from corporate constraints. There's nothing like being your own boss!

I work with a lot of different design media: beadweaving and beads, metalsmithing, chainmaille, wirework, glass fusing, enameling, metal clay - and more. I have even made lampwork beads! I thrive on tedious, detail-oriented work like complicated bead or chainmaille weaves - the smaller the seed beads or jump rings, the better!

My favorite way to work is to combine 2 or more media - creating complex mixed media pieces. I just wish I had more time!

My design inspiration comes from everywhere - nature, especially the ocean; colors; textiles; patterns and shapes; and, of course, from gorgeous beads!

My handmade metal, glass, enamel, and beaded jewelry components (and some quality commercial supplies, too) are available in my Etsy supply shop from time to time: https://www.etsy.com/shop/SweetGoodies. Currently, my supply shop is closed so I have more time to create jewelry and patterns.
