sock monkeys…

jewelry was always the main focus of zparkleys, mostly because the 3 of us that had started it got the idea while beading.

i, personally, was raised by a crafter, and come from a line of crafting people. pretty much every family member has 1 to 20 crafts they do [mostly]. i personally dabble in all mediums, any medium i can get my hands on and try.

at some point, when i was using the name, i decided that i was going to start making sock monkeys. my first one wasn’t the best monkey, he was a direct attempt to follow the standard red heel sock monkey directions. eventually, i modified here, i modified there, and now, i have my very own, distinct, sock monkeys.
