Hi. I'm from Raleigh, NC and a proud graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill. I have a BA in English Education and am the owner of a quirky jewelry shop called
Risky Beads.
I've worked with children, numbers, words, and lately seem to prefer beads that look like succotash.
I have a
Risky Blog which is the gateway to all of my shops and insanity; I'm a lefty with a blog called
Lefthand Madens where I feature left-handed crafters and artisans, and I contribute to the online handmade fashion magazine
VivaLaModa.
Feel free to
email me and/or follow me on
Twitter!
I'm also the editor of the newest department here at HandmadeNews.org,
Crafty Kids. Come by and see the daily, fresh ideas for parents, teachers, and kids! You can follow
Crafty Kids on Twitter as well!
