Katrina Parsley, of Kat's Creations, was a maker at the 2014 Heartland Maker Fest in Urbana on October 18, 2014. Katrina makes jewelry as a hobby because she finds it fun and exciting. She recalled a challenging moment in jewelry-making when she was trying to work on a beaded necklace but her cat kept batting the beads across the floor. Katrina often makes jewelry for her friends and sells it as well. If you would like to inquire about purchasing jewelry, you can contact her at: [email protected]
