A friend of mine wanted a traditional Irish wedding band made for when her Boyfriend finally proposed. This was my version of the traditional design, and then him proposing!
My name is Vanessa. I like to dance in my PJ's. I love to move, travel and explore. I have my own business making jewellery. I love arts and crafts and I'm afraid of zombies. I was an English teacher in Korea for 7 years and just moved back to Canada. But, there are at least 87 more countries that I want to visit. I like good wine, good coffee and cheese, but not always in that order. I love beaches no matter what season. I collect Shiney things. This is a journal of all my adventures.
I started making jewellery when I was 20, my first year at Nova Scotia College of Art and Design University, and I fell in love with it. I love shiney things, I love making things and I love process of starting with a simple piece of material and creating something beautiful. I graduated in 2002 with a BFA and went on to work at a couple of different jewellery comapanies, building my skill in everything from simple fabrication and repair work to setting $10,000 diamonds. Now, 10 years later, I'm on my way to creating my own company- making my own designs, in my own studio, and I am still loving it. It's my passion. my dream. my life. Hope you enjoy my work in progress! you can contact me at shmookitty@gmail.com
