Cara Swedeen created Swedee's Handmade Jewelry and Art with her sister when she was 9. She makes mask and ID lanyards, necklaces, earrings, keychains and bracelets. She also sells prints of her original art, and headbands and totebags.
I like jewelry and I like to meet all the colorful people at sales. I have fun selling at shows and conferences. Lanyards are my favorite thing to make and a lot of people I know wear them. When I was 9 I started making jewelry with my sister, Amelia. I also love art and I like drawing. I love working with my ArtWorking team because we make fun stuff together. They make me happy. I like helping other people at ArtWorking. When I am not at work, I like talking to my sister, taking walks with my mom at Picnic Point, cooking, shopping, and relaxing. I love listening to music and Guster is my favorite band. I like hanging out with my roommate, Ben. We have been buds for a long time. I like cleaning, doing dishes, putting things away and being on my own. I am happy and proud of my business. I hope people feel happy, fun, and funky when they wear my jewelry.
