Handmade enamel jewelry online Jessup

My reason for becoming a jewelry maker is different from all that I’ve heard. I did not dream of creating anything. I did not team of jewelry. I did not dream of anything related to handmade jewelry online in Jessup-much less Kimmings Jewelry. Dreamt of skiing, dancing and playing tennis. So I went to college without thinking about what I would do afterward. I picked a college that sounded like the food was good-Bucknell. A major based on how fun it sounded-psychology. Studied and partied my way through college. After graduation, I got a job in advertising in New York and I was on my way!

Then KABOOM! I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. KABOOM! I was confined to a wheelchair. KABOOM! I became bed-bound because of pressure sores. I quickly became tired of reading, computer games, and television.
Someone talked me into making jewelry by stringing beads and twisting a little piece of metal. I liked it, did lots of it, and decided to look into wire working for jewelry. After working with that I started silversmithing with a torch and then enameling.
I sold my homemade jewelry in craft shows near Jessup then ventured a little farther. Then I decided to try selling online. It’s been quite a struggle and quite a learning process. But I like learning. When I get frustrated online, I make jewelry. When I get frustrated with jewelry, I go online. Right now I’m making handmade enamel jewelry and trying to establish myself on Facebook. When all else fails, I do jigsaw puzzles.576 pieces!
