What are your jewelry beginnings? Where did you start and how did you progress to work you are creating today?
I took a basic beading class last November, bought a few magazines for ideas. In one of them I saw an ad for chainmaille, so I bought a kit and got hooked.
What are your favorite materials?
Sterling silver & semi-precious stones
What inspires you?
Other artists, staring at my box of pieces until something hits me
How do you describe your design style?
Modern classics - I like streamlined, minimal color pallettes, my jewelry pieces are chunky and noticeable
What advice would you give to an artist just starting out?
Hone your skill before you try to sell – my first pieces will never see the light of day
How do you spend time when you are NOT creating?
working, reading, promoting my store
Where have you been published or profiled?
I have profiles coming up on the Chainmaillers Guild and NC Triangle street team blogs
You can find much more of Jill’s work at her flickr pool here
Stay tuned in upcoming weeks for more talented etsy artist profiles from my JET and ABS team members.
