About Me

Peace and Blessings. My name is Andrea. However I love to called by the name Amina. Amina is arabic/swahilli for "loyal, trustworthy, dependable" in some dialects it also means "mother" This name represents my essence. Since the age 18, I've loved the art of jewelry design, crochet and sewing. I am a self taught artisan designer and loving mother. Reaching into myself to find and embrace my creativity as well as learn and discover other hidden talents is a rewarding challenge. In the beginning I created items as gifts for family and friends. After many compliments and word of mouth spread, I started making custom orders. Overtime I got my feet wet and sold my wears as a vendor in NYC.. And now, I am a seller on Esty, Ecater and now Silkfair with blogs on Indiepublic, Myspace, Blogger Blackplanet, Tagged, Cafemom, and WomenOwned.net My family and my love for the blessings the Most High has given me is what inspires me to be who I am and what I do. I offer affordable, unique, quality jewelry, eco-friendly ideas and hand sewn creations. My designs range from afro-centric/ethnic to Euro, urban chick, to business casual. I have just started an eco-friendly collection of designs created with used & recycled fabrics and materials. I combine precious metals (14K Gold fill, sterling silver) & some base metals with handmade lampwork beads, semi-precious stones, bone, fabric, czech glass, wood, yarn & more. Thank you for visiting. Blessed Be.
