Crafting-It's in my Blood!

I haven't 'blogged' much lately, I guess I just haven't I figured out what I believe to be 'blog worthy' yet. Although I do have this online shop on Etsy.com that I have yet to introduce. I will do that now...My shop, Robyn Graves: Accessories for the Unique can be found at www.robyny83.etsy.com. Here I sell OOAK resin pendants featuring iconic images of art,music, and films of the rather HORRIFIC and OCCULTIST type. Every Item is handmade by yours truly.

When I was young, my mom and I were always doing some kind of crafting together, she was so creative and curious to see what she could do herself, and I followed in her foot steps.When I was about 8 years old, my mom, who was also a master horticulturist,  bought a kiln and started her own small ceramics business. She especially enjoyed painting Native American Ceramics, and covered our house in her own Southwestern creation! I  then started painting my own ceramics, but of course I chose things like dinosaurs and rag dolls. My brother even got in on the action and painted a really awesome GIZMO! He too, has always dabbled in art. Any how ceramics turned into candle making, poetry writing, playing clarinet, then bass guitar, clothing re-constructing, crochet, photography, and in 2008 Resin Jewelry! Since then I have been making all kinds of jewelry for all kinds of people around the world thanks to  the Internet. I have also been selling in person at Dallas' local Roller Derby bouts, and at the annual Horror movie convention, Texas Frightmare Weekend. Thanks to my amazing Fiance,friends and family members, I have big goals that I am striving towards to make this my full time occupation, maybe one day I will have to hire help :) Till then I am working hard, networking, and reaching forward everyday!
