My Aunt

My aunt has always been very artistic and crafty.  She was the one who taught me how to knit because she was the only one who could figure out how to reverse everything for a left hander.  She moves from medium to another.  I have several gorgeous pieces of stained glass she made for me, my mother has beautiful quilts she made for her, and now she has moved on to jewelry making.

Here are some earrings she made for me.  She also makes gorgeous necklaces, but I don't have any to take pictures of with me.

 

She thought I would enjoy trying to find my creative side and sent me a bunch of really cool beads to play with, along with wire so I could make some earring too.  I haven't tried yet, but I think I will soon.  We'll see what I come up with.

Here are some of the beads she sent me.

Looks like a great assortment of beads. I do like the ones you have created so far.

I also am left handed and was taught to crochet by my aunt many years ago.
