Au Naturel

I originally chose the name Naturel Sight when I was deciding on a name to use for my upcoming Etsy shop. I wanted something that was different but that also described the type of work I like to do. I mostly like to work using natural beads with some seed and metal beads thrown in for design.
The other reason I chose the name was because it reminded me of growing up with parents who instilled a strong pride in our African American heritage. My parents were both involved in civil rights so my sisters and I grew up surrounded by people and books full of rich black history. We were taught to take pride in who we were and not let anyone or anything keep us from doing the thing that was set in our heart to do. I try to pass that pride on in the jewelry I create.
