Creative journey LEFT TOP - Recent work LEFT BOTTOM - Beginner work Heidi Williams of AztecaDesignsBoutique tells us about her work and creative journey. I have always been crafty and creative, dabbling in leather work, seed beading Native American fashion, and making all kinds and styles of jewelry! I can’t pin point an exact number of years, because as far back as I can remember I was always making something!! However, this past year and a half I have focused exclusively on jewelry, and metalwork in particular! The challenge and reward of metal manipulation is a passion! I look forward to continuing down this path of exploration and learning well into the future!! My before and after photos represent my work when I first started working with metal, and what my work looks like now! I encourage everyone to continue to chase their passion, and never stop learning!!! creativebeadchat.com
