What is your jewelry style? Eclectic. I like mix-and-match elements and an asymmetrical look. I wear lots of neutral-colored clothes so I make jewelry with bright, stand-out colors.

If we looked into your craft closet, what would we see? An avalanche of photography, sewing, beading, card-making and quilting supplies would spill out and bury you alive. I'd take some emergency supplies if I were you.

If you were a mad scientist, what would you invent? Negative-calorie Molten Chocolate Cake.

Bead & Gem Faire

March 20th, 2009 Jeri

WOW!  I spent the morning at a Bead & Gem Faire at the Southtowne Expo Center. There were strings of beads, loose beads, pre-made jewelry – everything your little heart could wish for.  I managed to escape with my budget intact… but just barely!

If you're in the Salt Lake area and want to check out the Gem Faire, it's still open on Saturday!
