Deirdre is amazing and super sweet. By amazing, I mean I have no way to keeping up with all the things she does for her businesses! If you check out her links at the bottom of the feature, you'll see what I mean. Doesn't she create absolutley gorgeous photos and jewelry?


Why the name? Blackbird has been my nickname since junior high after The Beatle’s song, Blackbird. The number 72 is my birth year. The lyrics to this song has and will always hit my inner being with a mixture of emotions. The words sing true to me and what has happened in my life.
My Blackbird72 is about my art and creating wearable items using my original photography. I create glass pendants, rings and earrings using hypoallergenic materials. I want others to wear these pieces as art and to look upon them as a reflection of the gorgeous world that we live in.
Blackbird’s Closet is a relatively new business. As a small business, I provide other small business with what they need to be self sufficient and to thrive. I want to expand on this venture as a side business and something very different from what I do.

What motivates you? Besides my love of art, photography and keeping busy?
My daughter.
I do this to stay at home with her and most of all, I need to be happy. I have medical conditions that do not allow me to work full time anymore in a regular work place, so I work harder to ensure that my family has what is needed :)
There's going to be a time when I may not be able to do all that I am able to do now. I feel the need to do this because in the back of my mind, I have a feeling this won't last....
What do you like best about creating?
I love the process most of all. I think the best part is getting out and taking photographs. Just me and my cameras, no one else. No iPod, and my cell is on vibrate. Then I get excited to see what I can do what with I shot on my computer.
Yes, seeing the final product is exciting too, but for me, shooting the pictures is the very best part :)
