Friday Give Away ~ Reyney

This weeks give-away is splendid! I love the creative approach to Renee's jewelry. She has unique ideas that are fun, but her jewelry looks so classy!





A little more about Renee:
1. Tell us a little about yourself.
My name is Renee and I am 30 years old. During the day I am an art and music teacher in a NYC public school. I love working with children and seeing the things that they create. Now that I am on summer vacation, I get to devote most of my time to my Etsy shop and planning for my July 2009 wedding! I also enjot crocheting and collecting vintage dolls.
2. What inspires your creativity the most?
I love the materials I use in my creations. I experiment with different color combinations. I especially love using brass and vintage plastic pieces.
3. How did you find Etsy and what made you decide to sell on Etsy?
My brother (www.geekgear.etsy.com) sent me the link in October 2005. I believe he found it on the MAKE blog. I was a buyer for a couple months and then finally decided to open my own shop in June 2006. I just thought it would be fun to sell, and never thought I would become addicted to it!
4. How long have you been creating?
I have been an artist for as long as I can remember. My mother and grandmother taught me how to draw and as a child I always occupied myself by drawing, painting, coloring, sewing, creating anything, etc.
5. Where did you learn your creating skills?
I studied drawing, painting, sculpture and ceramics in college but my jewelry creating is self-taught.

Such beautiful necklaces! My fav is "What Time Is It" necklace. I love the idea of getting the time around my neck, rather than my wrist! Lol.

I love Renee's retro styled necklaces. Somehow, the charms she chooses remind me of a sweeter, more innocent time. I almosst remember a charm like this telephone on a childhood charm bracelet. Love it.

I love Renee's jewelry and am the proud owner of many necklaces and several pairs of earrings. I first discoverd her through a friend of mine who purchased a necklace from her a couple of years ago and I've been in love with her stuff ever since then. Keep up the good work, Renee!
