newlife_earringsMy name is Pam & I live in Tyler, Texas. I’m a mother, wife, & a granny. I’ve been making jewelry about 4 years now, & I absolutely love it. I’ve been creative all my life, but I’ve never connected with anything like I have with making jewelry. My inspiration comes from life, culture,& nature.

I’ve finally found my bliss! I can really get lost in the process & time seems to just disappear. It’s also a wonderful way of sharing myself with others, as well as financing my habit! ;-) Read more
