Hello and welcome to my blog.
My name is Jody Lanham
and my blog is about my business, Designs by Jody. I make jewelry of
eclectic design (that is I create all kinds of styles and use all kinds
of materials). My two favorite "styles" lean toward the Native
American/Southwest with lots of stone, wood, bone, shell, leather and
feathers; and the Vintage/Retro thing with lots of antique metals,
gemstones and glass, ribbon, chains and charms.
I first
started making jewelry as therapy and a relaxation-time activity when I
was dealing with some personal issues. I found that I liked the
variety of beads and wires and findings and all the elements of the
process of creating a finished piece of jewelry. The more I worked with
it the more I liked doing it and like with anything, the more I did it
the better I got! I am still learning and still improving, but I am at a
point where I feel I have come around with a look that people who have
seen and purchased my pieces are beginning to recognize. Is that
possible with so many different underlying styles? Apparently so, I
even recognize myself myself! I do things a certain way, I add a
certain touch, I use certain materials and shapes and colors that feel
good to me and that I typically like the end results of when my product
is finished.
There will be pictures shortly but right
now I just want to get some information out there so my readers (you!)
have an idea of what I and my business are about! Welcome and thanks
for taking a moment...
