Getting started

Now that was a challenge in itself - Choosing a name, doing a search and seeing what comes up, only to find that not just one person, but a few others got there before you and so it's back to the drawing board for you...Phew! At least that's done and now the fun can begin.....
Something about me- My Name is Kerry and I am a student at the moment studying Jewellery & Silversmithing. I am hoping to start up my own business in the not so distant future making and selling Jewellery and a variety of things made out of glass. I will add more info and post photos etc later, I'm just testing the water at the moment. :-)

The name was partially inspired by the fact that I have always been keen of anything that sparkles. As a child I also had a pet Jackdaw called Hockney that I would regularly go out and catch grasshoppers for. I didn't realise that this skill would later come in handy when I showed my Children how to do this. My son was quite keen to learn as he is fascinated by nature. :) The rest of the name speaks for itself :) The name was put together by my cousin in the end :) I told her the names I had in mind and this is what she came up with and I thought it worked well and couldn't believe that with all the names I'd been playing with that I didn't put the two together myself!
