Changes

We are very fortunate to have one another to work with and keep the inspiration going. Lisa began beading as a hobby about 5 years ago and she talked Kay into trying it soon after. Let’s face the truth here, beading is addictive. Kay was quickly addicted also and it wasn’t long before we found that friends and family members loved our creations and would ask “Can you make one of those for me?”
Even though we have truly enjoyed making each creation, my sister and I have found ourselves in a state of "change"... we are "changing" our style of jewelry design, stepping out of our comfort zone. Our pieces are beautiful and well made, but with our decision to step into the internet sales, blogging, Esty, Artfire and other forms of marketing ourselves, we needed to change to accommodate that market.. We would like to share some of our early pieces, what worked  and what did not and our attempts to market our pieces.
Here are some photos of our earlier and later work~
