1. What's your story?
I´m Lourdes, 37 years old female, married and mother of two little girls of 3 and 1 years old. I´m a chemist and work as teacher in a secondary school. I love crafts and cook. I start making cross stitch when I finish University and with the walls full of my "art" I started looking for other hobby (I have a lot of pieces for finishing, someday).
2. When, how and why did you decide to make what you make?
I always love jewelry, specially earrings. When I was younger never thought it would be possible to make it myself. So when some supplies shops gets to me (internet and local) I start making it for me. Then for friends, with some success and custom order, and later, trying to use all the supplies I have keeping buying as a sick, I start my shop at etsy. Finally I have made lot of new things for etsy and have my boxes full of supplies yet. Last time, I start making leather bracelets with Spanish leather of really good quality making a new kind of items avaliables at my shop.
3.What inspires you?
I love the vintage style, rhinestones and brass findings makes me crazy. I love all that sparkle. I always looking for new earwires, beads and other materials to create with.
4. Other than Etsy, where else on the web can we find you?

5. What is your creative process?
I always trying to be with the trends of the fall, specially the colors. So for this autumn I was looking for bamboo, emberglow, honeysuckle, phlox, dark teal... and other pantone fall trend colors for my items. I get some leather in this colors and start making bracelets with double and triple wrapped that are really actually. I love to know what´s the ultimate fashion and try to match with, without forget the vintage style items. I spend lot of time at internet to be updated.
6. What is your favorite thing about where you live?
I live outside of a small city of Spain, really tranquility where I have lot of light and enough place to work. My husband use to care childrens to let me create, doesn´t great?
7. If you couldn’t make things, what profession would you like to have?
Create is for me a scape to my normal work. I love teach, I study Chemistry because I want to teach it, and I have the work I always love to have. Jewelry is for me the second and love it. The thrid in my mind, that always love to be is owner of a shop of crafts like patchwork, sewing, crossstitch.... lots of drawers and shelves to look for every little thing... a dream!!!
8: What is your favorite recipe?
I love Fideua, that´s a recipe of east of Spain, similar to Paella but with pasta (smallest size) instead of rice. About me as a cooker, I love fast recipes, I have one of a yummy chocolate cake make in microwave in 10 minutes including dishwashing.... yummy and fast!!! Perfect for a mother with lot of things to do!
