Meet the Faerie
Hello I am
Rebecca the creative force, designer and free spirit behind the Bejeweled
Faerie. Believe it or not I started making jewelry about 3 or 4 years ago
because I always fell asleep whenever I tried to sit down to relax and watch a
movie no matter how bad I wanted to see the movie. Always on the go being a full
time student and working full time I needed a way to unwind with out going
instantly comatose. What I quickly found was that making jewelry not only kept
me awake while I was watching movies or whatever activity was going on But it
also provided a creative outlet that until I started exercising I didn't realize
how much this was lacking from my life. I have always enjoyed sewing and making
my won clothing a costumes, a skill I acquired with my first job at the age of
16 working for Joann Fabrics. But it is a little more challenging to set up a
sewing station from your living room sofa.
I
still sew, my favorite is renaissance style costumes. I love costumes. If it
were up to me everyone would have costume Friday instead of casual Friday and
come to work dressed up as their alter ego.
For the most part I am completely self taught. I have never taken any classes for jewelry making. However I do have plans to do so in the future as I plan on learning more advanced techniques in metalworking. Sewing is another story. My mother taught me a good deal of what I know and have since developed those skills primarily by trial and error.
Much of my inspiration is drawn from nature, even though the is not overtly expressed with in my work this is often how I come up with different color combinations and what I make is often an abstract reflection of what I have seen or thought about. I also look back to old Celtic cultures and the renaissance and medieval time periods.
