About the Expert
Genny Wilson has been making jewelry for about six years and has no plans to stop anytime soon. Originally starting to make a little extra cash at a local festival, she found it so enjoyable she decided to give her creations away as door prizes. "I was immediately hooked." She says,"From the moment that I finished my first piece there was no going back." When asked why she loved it so much the hobbyist replied, "I've always loved making things, I love the idea of taking a bunch of things and making something new out of it. It's much more enjoyable than buying something at the store because you took the time to make it with your own two hands." So, what made her decide to share her jewelry making knowledge? "I've seen a lot of newcomers on the scene, people that for whatever reason have decided to try their hand at making jewelry. A lot of these people are just like I was when I started and have no idea how to tell the difference between a jump ring and a headpin. I wish there had been a detailed guide I could have used as reference back then."
