Hello! My name is Brooke Mosley. I am the owner of Leksi Designs. I make custom hand stamped jewelry and handmade flower accessories. My shop was named in a pretty simple way. My daughter, age 7, is named Aleksis. Some people call her “Leksi” for short, so there it is…Leksi Designs! In addition to one daughter, I have a husband, Tim, who is a Highway Patrolman and two small dogs, Jasper and Toby.
I actually got into stamping metal jewelry when I was shopping for a piece for myself. Everything I looked at was so expensive! So, I just thought I would make it myself! People started asking me about the pieces I was wearing….and my ETSY SHOP WAS BORN!
I work full-time during the day for the local school district and take Master’s Courses in the evenings as well. I also coach cheerleading part-time and keep a pretty set schedule at the gym. I enjoy running and hope to run a few marathons this summer.
How do I find time to do my jewelry?
This is fairly simple…I don’t sleep….lol. No joking aside, I really don’t sleep much and jewelry is kind of my “wind-down” time in the late evenings. Hopefully, one day I will be able to spend more of my day doing this…but for now this is working out great!
Advice for a new artist~ I would suggest taking thie time to come up with something really unique and original before advertising. A new artist must have both quality and quantity to make it. Tkae great pictures and keep customer service number one!In ten years…
I hope to be enjoying life and still creating my jewelry. I am just about finished with my MBA, so hopefuly I can tie in my interest in owning my own business with my craft life.
My favorite piece of work so far is my Handstamped Quote Cuff: http://www.etsy.com/listing/42757839/large-hand-stamped-hammered-cuff-braceleWebsite: http://www.leksidesigns.etsy.com/
