Hello my fellow artisans! I too have an interest in creative art by hand. I have a humanitarian approach to life. I believe in giving back to those whose needs are far greater than my own. Furthermore, I'm a supporter and advocate on many issues. On a more personal level I am in my middle 40's/single/no children/born on Valentine's day making my birthstone and jewelery of interests the AMETHYST. In closing I look forward to viewing more of the lovely work that you all do and perhaps making future purchases in support of NOVICA. Thank You, Respectfully Tina
