Biography of your crafting background: I have been painting and drawing since I was four. I draw for several rubber art stamp companies here and abroad. I also have a hand-painted ornament business, as well as an online handmade jewelry and jewelry supply store. I sell my own line of non-tarnish jewelry wire which is fantastic! I began making jewelry in 2006. I excelled in it and went on the win Best in the County in Montgomery County, Pa. for my jewelry design and jewelry making classes in 2009 and 2010. I have recently moved back to my hometown of Russell, Pa. after 34 years of moving and learning.
