For a long time, Amanda struggled with the gap between her creative thoughts and her ability to bring those ideas to life. That shifted recently when she found an unexpected spark of joy in a simple box of beads. This glimmer inspired her to turn her ideas into real-life sparkles.
glim·mer /ˈɡlimər/ noun
A small, fleeting moment of sensory input that unexpectedly creates a sense of peace, joy, or safety.
Glimmers bring a bit of extra light to our days. Amanda works to capture that sparkle in her jewelry. She chooses vibrant combinations of silver-lined, electroplated, and metallic seed beads to bring every piece to life. Her work is a wearable reminder to look for the moments of peace and joy that can be found in the smallest moments. Her hope is that these pieces bring a bit of sparkle to everyone who wears them.
Amanda is thrilled that what started as a personal practice for mindfulness and healing has grown into a meaningful opportunity to join the KO Collective and support health initiatives within our community.
When she isn't stringing beads (or dreaming of the next batch), Amanda finds joy in the company of her partner and her dog. She finds peace in meditation, and her collections of crystals and tarot cards. On the best days, you’ll find her reclaiming the simple joy of a sunny drive with the windows down, music blasting, and an iced coffee in the cup holder.
