Now for the interview:

1. First things first, tell us a little more about yourself...

My name is Ruthie and I've been married for 8 months to a wonderful man named Moses. No kids yet - but there is plenty of time for that in the future! We currently live in Ellensburg, WA. where we are both full time students at Central Washington University.

2. What is your regular job?

I don't have a regular job at this time. I've been dealing with some health problems in the last year which required me to quit working. So I focus on school, tutor occasionally, and create jewelry!

3. Do you Haiku?

I dream in bright blue

random colors shining bright

and a smile blossoms

4. Picture of your workspace (as is, no cheating!)

5. What inspires you?

EVERYTHING! Ok, so maybe that's a little broad, but it's true as well! I'm inspired by the beads themselves, other artists, things I see on tv or in person, all sorts of random things!

6. What item in your shop is your favorite and why?

I don't know if I can pick just one favorite - but I do love my punk rocker bracelet! The idea came to me while I was falling asleep one night and I've gotten a lot of really positive feedback off of it. I liked the pattern so much that I made another one just for me in black and silver :)

Thank you Ruthie for your generous giveaway! Your jewelry is gorgeous :)
