One of the main things that I strive for in making my jewelry is helping to support skilled artisans from around the world. Many of the lampwork, fiber, and ceramic beads that I use in my work are one of a kind pieces that come from the hands of people I'm proud to consider my friends. For commercial supplies, I mostly purchase from small businesses like Phat Hemp - and I have great friends among the commercial suppliers as well.

The hemp that I use has been selected for its durability, smoothness, and uniform size. You won't be dealing with the dreaded scratchies here, and you also won't be dealing with breaks a few months down the road.

And finally, I make each and every piece by hand, and come up with a great deal of my own designs as well (barring your standard hemp knotting designs that everyone does). I take great pride in my work, and I also love showcasing the stunning artisans that lend their pendants and beads to my designs.
