THE LAZY LEOPARD LLC
BARTOW, FLORIDA

My all time best seller..... When the camera store I worked at part time closed, I decided to make some jewelry and start working the local craft fairs. I already had lots of beads and things to get started. I bought a tent and a few extra things needed to set up at a fair and went to work. With the help of my husband (for muscle) and my sister (for help selling and organizing) we had minor success. One day a friend of mine, a lovely artist named Pat (www.paintingsbypat.etsy.com) brought me a couple of ear cuffs she had bought years before. They had been pairs but she had lost the mate to each one and asked me if I could make something like them. I remembered cuffs from when I was a kid but didn't realize they were still around, and had only seen band type cuffs, not the wire and bead type like she was showing me. I was intrigued, and being the kind of person who loves a challenge, I went about making her a couple of pairs. They were pretty rough considering they were my first, but she loved them and wore them often.
