CBS: "How long have you been making jewelry and how did you get started?"
Betsy: "I've been making this line for about 6 years now but I learned silversmithing
at a smallcraft school in Western North Carolina. The craft school first started in the
1930's as a way to provide people with craft making skill so that they could sell out
into the markets."
CBS: "What inspired you to create these unique vintage note pieces?"
Betsy: "When I was in college I did studio art and I did a lot of collage work so I used
a lot of the same materials, like the old papers and fabrics and so this jewelry
line is sort of a fun continuation of that."
CBS: "You use recycled sterling silver and vintage words from mid century books.
My personal favorite is the 'my darling' necklace. Where did you get that note from?"
Betsy: "That was from a World War II era love letter from a soldier to his sweetheart.
It's the sweetest thing ever."
CBS: "Another interesting piece is your arrow earrings. What's so unique about them?"
Betsy: "The arrow design is actually a fabric piece from the 1890's. It's a Kalika fabric
that I had a lot of so each of these arrow pieces is the authentic tiny bit of an antique
fabric."
