About Creative Brilliance by Brenda

Let me tell you a little bit about my business. I do this for fun... it's my passion... my "occupational therapy." And I don't do just one thing.... I have a such a variety of products: lighted glass blocks, wine glasses, ornaments, and jewelry, just to name a few.

I've been crafting since I was about 8 years old. And trust me - that's a LONG time. I love focusing on a project and doing the absolute best I can do. It brings me joy. But what brings me even more joy is when I receive feedback and pictures from customers with my products in their homes. It's exciting to see how something I created made someone else just as happy as it made me.

And I LOVE working with people - finding out what they're looking for and doing my best to find a way to make it happen. I had a potential customer express interest in the personalized blocks. She had seen one of my products at a friend's house and wanted one for herself. But rather than an initial and her name, she wanted to know if I could do a monogram. I went to work and sent her three different options. She chose one and was beyond thrilled with the end result. And now, I make monogram blocks as part of my repertoire! Expanding my collection is always a bonus. Some of my best ideas come from my customers.

Now for the jewelry... I saw a picture of a gorgeous bracelet and thought to myself "Hmm. I wonder if I could make that." So I spent endless hours researching and studying until I finally learned how to make them. I use a technique called Chainmaille. And with that technique I am able to create earrings, bracelets, and necklaces in Byzantine and Foxtail patterns. From about 160 teeny tiny jump rings to a fashionable bracelet - definitely a product of love and patience!

If you like something you see but are wondering if I could do this or that or the other thing to maybe tweak it a little, just send me an email or give me a call! I may not be able to do exactly what you're looking for, but I sure will give it the ol' college try!
