October 1, 2013 Always people want to put a vowel into my business name. It makes sense. In America we use vowels in our words. The story behind my business name is simple. It is my initials – Jeanette Marie Martha Levernier. Whew! It goes like this: when we were in grade school, the nuns would intercept our notes and read them out loud. We thought if we initialed them, they would never know who we were.
The punchline is: I told this story for a few years when I was starting out until the light bulb went off. Of course they knew! Duh!
Everything I have made since the early 90’s has had my jmml stamped somewhere on the piece, usually the back, occasionally texture on the front. Call me a Gucci wannabe. I figure if he can do it, so can I.
I went to the gem show in town over the weekend. Now I’m ready to rock my studio. Pictures to follow.
