Today's featured artist is Rachel, check out her work HERE My name is Rachel. I sell handmade Hemp Necklaces, Bracelets and Anklets as well as leather Necklaces with beads, charms and pendants.  It all started when i was in high school and i made jewelry for myself.  When my friends saw what I had, they wanted to buy some from me!  I have kept at it and in 2009 i opened my on-line shop.  Hemp jewelry is so perfect because it is fashionable and low key at the same time.  As well as being reasonably priced and totally customizable.
