Hi all! My name is Kirsten, I am a 43 years old female from Denmark, Western Europe.
I have always been creative with my hands, started making jewellery 3 years ago. It started with a piece of elastic string and a few glass beads...now I'm hooked on gemstones, Sterling silver and vermeil. I like making fancy pieces, but also big, rough necklaces. I buy a lot from etsy.com, since I there can get materials I cannot get in my small home country, or if available, way too expensive here!
I enjoy making jewellery because it makes me and the occasional customer happy, and gemstones are so nice - pretty, shiny, perhaps even health-giving! :-)
I am married, no kids, live in a bungalow with a sort of 'wild-ish' garden - lots of birds.
I read a lot, especially crime and cookery - I love to cook and bake.
I enjoy travelling, and visit London once a year - my favourite city where I'd live if I were rich!
Currently unemployed after a long period with stress and depression - but making jewellery is a nice pasttime!
