Textile design and Jewelry making.

I studied textile design while at the School of Visual Arts.  I am currently in the process of creating designs to upload to Society 6, Spoonflower and other related print on demand sites.  Jewelry making is something that allows me to be creative in a different way.  I enjoy creating jewelry by bending wires to make earrings and bracelets.
