PoleStar’s Blog

My name is Jennifer and I make jewelry. It is a creative outlet for me and I love it because I can use all my daydreaming time to think of new designs in my head and I also can have pretty fast tangible results! Not only that, I love when people see something they really like and enjoy the creation as well. I don’t see it as a matter of ego, but just creating lovely things in this world, and a little bit of that never hurt anything I suppose. Mush mush.

I have always had a creative streak, whether it was casually drawing or working in Photoshop or making little gifts for friends. Learning to sew is one thing I would like to do eventually, and I would also like to learn to play the violin. I have 2 boys and I hope to eventually take lessons in violin with one of them. Maybe. We’ll see.

I also haven’t had any formal training, I have a B.S. in something NOT very creative, I was on a path and followed it, though I do wish I could go back and major in Philosophy. Perhaps one day I will get a Master’s in something or another, though I have received advice to not just get an advanced degree for the sake of having one, but to pursue a passion and know pretty much exactly what you want to do.

I decided to try out WordPress as opposed to Blogger which I am very used too. WordPress is going to take some time to get to know!   By starting this blog, I wanted to bring to you some of the creative process I use when making my jewelry, where I find supplies that I love, and showcase other jewelry makers whom I admire on Etsy, and also showcase sellers who have caught my eye, or money from my wallet!

Comments are welcome, and so are questions, and if you are reading this, I appreciate you taking the time to do so.
