Deryn is an extremely talented mixed media artist and her work is outstanding, as you can tell by the teaser photo.

How did you start doing jewelry (or bead making) as a business?
I finally decided that I needed to find a way to pay for my passion!

Much more than that though, I found a personal, spiritual voice, expressed through my jewelry. It’s important to me to share that.

Do you remember the first piece of jewelry you ever made?
Probably, the first piece of jewelry I ever attempted to make was a beaded headband, created on a beading loom when I was in Camp Fire girls.

This jewelry-making guide for beginners shows you how to create incredible necklaces, earrings, and bracelets that you'll love wearing and sharing.

I think I got about one inch completed. Needless to say, that type of beading isn’t my thing! I also remember a lovely, colorful telephone wire ring made in CFG.  I wish I had that ring today!
