About Me

Hello and Welcome!  My name is Rocki Adams and I'm a self-taught jewelry artisan who creates handcrafted metalwork jewelry and supply findings.  My designs range from classic to unique and are custom handmade to order for each customer.  My jewelry findings are "Handcrafted Pieces of Art for Your Artistic Creations" - not just supplies.

My Signature Kite's are one of my favorite original designs, which have expanded into an entire series of a variety of ear wires, clasps and earrings - so far. Formally titled “Go Fly A Kite”, they came to life in my hands in 2008 and, well here’s a short blog post of their debut in my other blogspot: http://rockisrocknbeads.blogspot.com/2009/02/awe-go-fly-kite.html
 
Several years ago my metalwork bench started out in the garage until I outgrew my little space, at least that’s what hubby said. Then he helped me remodel a spare room into a studio. I don’t know who was happier – me, as I got my very own home studio or very supportive hubby, since he got his garage back!

Designing and creating in my busy studio is truly peaceful, even on my most craziest of days (okay, well maybe there’s a little hair pulling now and then). My window view is perfect as I can see my Torch Glow Bougainvillea and a variety of birds in the feeders – they sing to me while I’m working which makes me smile. 

I alone wear many hats while operating my successful multi-shop business: from design to completion, package & ship, photographer, answer emails and maintain business spreadsheets and social websites. Whew!

All my metalwork is handmade to order by my hands alone.  While I spend a great deal of time happily working, I value my personal time with the hubby and family – birding, hiking, boating, bicycling, and many other activities.  Life is too precious to work 24/7.

If you want to know a little bit more about me, in a nutshell: proud mom, married to my best friend, Buddhist, Survivor; believe in human rights, equality and marriage for all people; birder; I'm simple, casual, thrifty, rustic, raw vegan, gluten-free, clutz; love the ocean, birds, nature, my pool, hiking, tattoos, humor... basically, I'm just a gal who's livin' this precious life one moment at a time.  You can also visit me on Facebook, my birding nature blog: Tattooed Bird Nerds, my original blog: Rocki's Rock'n Blog or for my raw vegan recipes: Raw Rocki
 

If you have a goal, don’t let anyone or anything stop you. My very own personal motto for many years has been: Never Give Up!  No matter if it is a goal to reach or one of many obstacles to overcome that life throws at you - with a positive attitude, strength, determination, faith, willpower and the love and support of family and friends, you will get through it - usually with a better outcome.
 
Peace & Kindness,
Rocki
