You'll find me on Twitter as @IBTerri I joined 2/24/06 and have been hooked ever since! I am a jewelry designer and lampwork artist. Mom to Michelle my 17 yo daughter, wife to Andy @AECarol and friend to many.
I live in Half Moon Bay, CA, 4th generation resident of the coastside and absolutely LOVE it here. What's not to love? Beautiful beaches, quaint downtown, great restaurants... I'm starting to sound like an employee of the Chamber of Commerce! Which I'm not so I'll stop now. :P
I enjoy gardening and for the first time in many years I actually had a vegetable garden that produced veggies this year.
I enjoy cooking and baking, I'm told I'm pretty good at it too.
Favorite colors are red, purple, pink, blue... basically the jewel tones.
Lampworking!!! Yes I get that excited about making glass beads. I've been lampworking since 2005 when I took my first class taught at a bead shop with hot head torches. I was totally hooked from the moment I lit my torch and melted glass onto the mandral. Now I have my own glass studio complete with an oxygen concentrator, Nortel Minor torch, JenKen Kiln and I'm hooked on buying glass. I have played a bit in glass fusing, while fun, I much prefer the instant (ok semi-instant) gratification of making beads.
So what do I do with these beads? Well I've been a jewelry designer since 2003 and I make jewelry, bead pens, wine stops, and book marks with them. I sell on the web (very little actually) and at craft boutiques in the San Francisco Bay Area. Nothing thrills me more than when one of my previous customers comes back and tells me how much they love the jewelry they bought from me.
Oh it varies quite a bit from 80's rock, R & B, Newer Country, Oldies and Pop.
Law & Order, L & O SVU, Good Eats, The Bonnie Hunt Show, Lipstick Jungle, Thats all I can think of now. :)
