His & Hers Keychains, Hand Stamped Aluminum - Customizable

I've been making stuff for over 20 years; if it can be done with my hands, I have probably tried it at some point, from embroidery, sewing, crochet and piecework to papercrafting, soaping, felting and all aspects of jewelry-making, particularly metalsmithing and beading. I am self-taught in almost everything I do, and try to constantly challenge myself to learn new methods and techniques so that my art will never become stagnant.

In 2010, I began making hand-stamped jewelry, and it was then that my 'hobby' business turned into a full-time job which grew almost faster than I could control. I incorporated in 2012 and now employ over half a dozen assistants in a little workshop/studio in Tujunga, California.

I still work primarily out of my home, though; when I began selling online in 2001 (my first successful handcrafted product was a line of pin-back buttons made from my own designs; to this day, I am still endlessly inspired by the concept and challenge of expressing a viewpoint or belief in a few short words or a single image), my primary motivation was a dislike of 'office' environments and a desire to work independently and on my own schedule, and this is still vitally important to me today.

My corporation is Rose Rose, Inc.; my primary business is Foxwise Jewelry. In addition to my for-profit corporation, I have a 501(c)3 corporation, The Dogs of All; we are an animal welfare and rescue group based in Tujunga, CA, whose purpose is rescuing, rehabilitating and re-homing abandoned pets. We focus primarily on dogs, with a secondary focus on turtles and tortoises, but are willing to help any animal in need - as evidenced by our office cat, Artemis, who was part of a feral litter born in our parking lot, and who was SUPPOSED to be adopted out,,,,but then shemanaged to sink her claws into our hearts…
