| Laurie Lynne started making jewelry early, like most young girls. My projects started and finished throughout my elementary and middle school years. Many requests from friends with their colors and my price being for the supplies. I began working a job as soon as I turned 16. I worked two jobs, a factory where my Dad worked and the other at a video store. Besides saving for car insurance, beads became my expense of choice. As soon as I discovered wholesale suppliers and local craft shows to attend, I applied for my resale/Tax ID. Beads are always fun but can get expensive, especially those really cool $12.00 each beads! Thus, making my own, seemed to be the next thing to do. The world of polymer clay is such a wonderful one! Making beads of clay just like venetian glass bead makers is so intriguing! And in Italy the bead makers are traditionally men! So much clay time passed and many books on polymer started to become published. So I became known as a polymer clay jewelry maker. I did years of shows selling my handmade clay bead/design wares. Well, my collection of other beads began to grow because I only used them to accent my clay creations. This is what I do now, jewelry-making with antique beads, vintage glass beads, limited press glass, my own polymer clay beads, crystals, semi-precious stones and only accented with Sterling Silver, 14 kt gold fill or Vermeill. I feel like I don't want to be categorized. As I was in the past, it limited my creativity. So anything goes! And my prices reflect that also. If I use an expensive selection of beads and use a lot of gold for example, it's because the creative project wants to be made that way! My goal is to not limit or hoard the "expensive" supplies, it's to utilize every palette of color and component to create wearable bead jewelry that encompasses quality, beauty and just totally ROCKS! Feel free when creating-it's the whole point! Over the years almost 1000 birthday parties and classes have been transformed into COOL, CREATIVE, FUN times with Laurie Lynne too! So many after school program courses, adult education and private classes all over the state have requested my skills over the years!
