There’s gonna be a lot more information here pretty soon. For now: I’m Tina Bird, I’ve been making jewelry of various types for 20 years and teaching (in other areas) longer than that.
“Kardiac Kitten” refers to Squib, my most-beloved feline companion, who died at the age of four and a half due to congenital heart disease. I thought I was going to be using this site to sell jewelry to help pay her medical bills, but she went too soon.
She was a tiny cat. When I was working, she’d curl up in this Priority Mail box next to my desk to keep me company. None of our other cats fit into it, which pleased her immensely.
