I was just interviewed on Squidoo!

Recently I was interviewed by Robin Svedi of Squidoo about my new role as Squidoo's "Bangles, Baubles and Beads" Contributor. I was really exciting this morning to see it posted on the Squidoo HQ blog!

If you'd like to find out how I fell in love with jewelry making when I was a young girl (thanks to my mom and some gorgeous Venetian glass beads) and ended up designing and making one-of-a-kind jewelry professionally, I invite you to check it out. :)



My interview about becoming Squidoo's new "Bangles, Baubles and Beads" Contributor

Welcome to the "Bangles, Baubles and Beads" Jewelry Making Techniques Blog!

Hi! I'm Margaret Schindel - jewelry artist, Senior Editor/Technical Editor of Metal Clay Artist Magazine and the new Bangles, Baubles and Beads contributor on So Crafty magazine on Squidoo.

I love making jewelry using many different materials and techniques including contemporary and vintage glass beads, findings and components - especially vintage-inspired jewelry; silver, gold, bronze and other metals - especially metal clay techniques; polymer clay - especially polymer clay mokume gane; and an ever growing number of others.

Here are some examples of my jewelry designs:

I also love learning new jewelry making techniques and sharing my experience, expertise and discoveries with other jewelry artists and jewelry lovers. So whether you're a jewelry making newbie or a professional jewelry artist, you'll find tips, trends, techniques, tutorials and plenty of inspiration from me and other jewelry makers. Start by checking out my helpful jewelry making articles and tutorials on metal clay jewelry, beaded jewelry and polymer clay jewelry as well as all my crafting and jewelry making articles on Squidoo.
