I majored in Fine Art Photography and took a silversmith class as an elective and absolutely loved it. Since then, I have occasionally taken workshops and seminars in jewelry and metals and have a small workshop set up in my apartment. I have a regular 9-5 job and love coming home and getting out my hammers and saws and working with metal.<\/p>\n<p><b>What is your day job?<\/b><br \/>\nI edit educational videos for a textbook publisher. It&#8217;s a fun job, and involves fitting different elements together (words, images, music) to make a fun, pleasing and easy to understand product. I think that is a good skill to have for any art.<\/p>\n<p><b>What inspires you in your work?<\/b><br \/>\nI get inspired by random things, but it&#8217;s usually from nature. A few weeks ago I went to a seminar on permaculture (sustainable living) and the speaker showed slides of different kinds of garden and landscaping designs. They were so beautiful and simple and I spent the rest of the class sketching out designs for jewelry. I never know what will inspire me so I always keep a journal and an open mind with me.<\/p>\n<p><b>Katrinbird&#8217;s work is available at local craft shows (northern New Jersey), and in her Etsy shop <a href=\"http:\/\/katrinbird.etsy.com\">http:\/\/katrinbird.etsy.com<\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/view_listing.php?listing_id=5060037\"><img><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today&#8217;s featured Etsy shop is katrinbird, a shop featuring elegant jewelry made of sterling silver, semi-precious and glass beads, and antique clock and watch gears. &#8220;I love things that move and my goal is to make more pieces that you can interact with.&#8221; How did you get started in your art?
