about Wild4dayz!
Originally called Whatever is Lovely Designs, I got the name from a favorite scripture, Philipians 4:8...
finally...whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about these things...
and while my designs are certainly lovely, I have to say that when I am in creating mode, and Creator-in-Me takes over, colors start combining and beads start rolling places, well, stuff can get a little, uh...wild. I'm a bit embarrassed to admit how long it took me to realize (in a true light-bulb moment) that the acronym for Whatever Is Lovely Designs is WILD! Isn't that wild?
Most Wild4dayz designs are one-of-a-kind (like it? better grab it!) and in addition to the designs on the site, I also do custom work...just let me know what you need.
Wild4dayz jewelry has been the accessories of choice for many fashion and hair shows, has been sold in boutiques in major cities, and has been included in magazines such as Black Elegance, Ebony, Jet and E'lon Couture E-zine.
Appealing to women who sway to their own beat and who don't get along with cookie-cutter fashion (if you're reading this...that's probably you!) there is a Wild4dayz design ready to transform your spirit and add some sparkle to your life!
about Cynthia Winston-Ford
My name is Cynthia Winston-Ford and I am a beadaholic.
Not into malls, shoes or clothes that much, but give me a good source for beads and oh Lawdy...that's MY heaven!
Originally from Chicago, my parents nudged us into creativity with piano lessons, choir, and theatrical activities...mom even started a club for us called the Marquette Hobby Club where my brother and I and kids from the neighborhood made craft projects in the basement of our Englewood apartment building. My art experience took several leaps when I attended the University of Chicago Laboratory School and was exposed to many new mediums such as photography, painting and ceramics. It was there that I had my first experience of jewelry making and it has been a passionate affair ever since. Immersing myself into that creative place that jewelry designing takes me to, is for me, a spiritual, magical, liberating adventure...and it's hard to describe the joy I feel when a piece of my jewelry finds its home with someone and illuminates the beauty of the person wearing it.
I am amazed at the gifts of God.
I am honored, humbled and delighted to be the mother of 4 of the most incredible adult children, who teach me and love me unconditionally. I am also blessed with grandchildren that light my world, make me smile and keep me moving like a young thing!
