Take a look at the work of mother/daughter team, Diane DeVos and Glynnis Killen, and their shop, DiGiJewels.
"Di stand for Diane and Gi stands for Glynnis. Diane is mom to Glynnis (now 14 years old). Glynnis is a passionately creative person. She started making jewelry when she was 11 as a way to give her friends friendship bracelets. As I watched her create, she inspired me to make a few pieces of jewelry. I have learned that I love to make jewelry!
My sister-in-law opened a shop in Kent and asked Glynnis to make some stretchy beaded bracelets to sell in her shop. When the first bracelet sold, hobby turned into a business. A couple of craft shows later (Kent, CT sidewalk), we discovered Etsy!
Glynnis took a picture of all her bracelets and named her business, DiGiJewels. We have evolved from stretchy beaded bracelets to gold and silver jewelry. We have a wonderful working relationship now that we have settled into our creative process."
I am really loving the back stories of the Shop Spotlights! This mother/daughter feature is terrific!
