History I was waiting for life to finally happen. I was waiting to study and realize my dreams of becoming a medical doctor. I had 3 years of time on my hands, though I didn't know at the time. Luckily, I couldn't stay idle for long. I love creative and fine arts and have designed outfits ever since I can remember.My grandma is a creative mind with entrepreneurial skills. She’s the one I go to for ideas, amongst other things. I left her house one day with Lola’s phone number. Lola made bead bags and beaded jewelry. She taught me how to make the bags, but I was more interested in the jewelry. I started beading in 2005. I made unique and beautiful beaded earrings, bracelets, necklaces and a few beaded bags and purses. I eventually started selling pieces to family members and friends. I often happily discussed design with them and made a number of personalized items. When life finally happened, I had to move countries; Minx as a hobby had to be suspended. During this period, I discovered wire-wrapping and fell in love with it immediately. Oh, the endless possibilities! With the help of several books and a couple of years of practice, I was ready to create wearable art. *Special thanks to my dear uncle B for moral and financial support* |
