DSC00675 225x300 Jewelry making with Lisa Wu Hartwell

I bet yah didn’t know that my bookie Lisa Wu Hartwell is a great jewelry designer. A few months ago I tagged along with her to a bead store to see how she makes the magic happen. At her house she has hundreds of trays and thousands of crystals,precious stones and more ready to be made into wearable pieces. She told me she was going to make me a bracelet and I was too excited. I told her to bling it out because I’m all about the sparkle lol. She said, “what do you like or want it to look like? I responded, “hmm I like shoes,butterflies, all sorts of cute dainty sparkly things”.

In the bead store there were tons of different things you could make, so I had a seat because I was quickly overwhelmed with everything they had to offer. Let’s just say we were in there for an hour or so lol. Lisa gets hyped in there, like I get when I’m in a thrift store. I took her with me one time to one out here by us and she was blank starring me the whole time.  So thats another post but she made me a great charm bracelet and I will cherish it forever. This is my bracelet below I wanted to share with you guys, I love it and it’s so me. Thanks bookie for the beautiful keepsake! Please visit Lisa’s all new website to see more of her jewelry line and more!

TalkingwithTami.com: Did you always think that you were creative or was it something you just discovered about yourself?

I have always been very creative and consider this as a god given talent. I have many hobbies which my creativity comes into play; knitting, sewing, crocheting, painting, decorating and cooking to name a few.

TalkingWithTami.com:How would you describe your personal style of your unique craftsmanship?

Each piece of jewelry that I create is very unique. All of my jewelry is one of a kind. I only use quality glass beads and findings. Everyone that sees my jewelry says that it is very different.

TalkingWithTami.com: Where does the inspiration come from to create each unique piece?

Some of my pieces are created for a specific person in mind. I also like to coordinate colors that complement each bead.

TalkingWithTami.com: What are you hopes for the future for BeDazzled and where could someone find out more about your company?

I would love to create styles for celebrities and actually see them wearing my jewelry. That would be very fullfilling.
