We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Day Evans. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Day below.
Hi Day, thanks for joining us today. Can you talk to us about how you learned to do what you do?
I started creating back in 2020, and had no clue what I was doing. What I did know is that it felt right. Everything that I learned was all self taught. When I made my first bracelet it was all freestyle and YouTube tutorials on how to properly tie the stretch cord. After that I taught myself wire wrapping, which has further evolved. The skill I found most essential throughout the learning process was to be open-minded and not to sell myself short. I had to challenge new ideas and take new approaches to different projects when things failed. I wish I would have used YouTube a bit more in the beginning to learn different wire wrapping techniques or jewelry suppliers as it would have saved me a lot of time and wasted product. During these learning stages I believe time was my biggest obstacle due to me working full time and overtime hours, which left me with few hours during the week to hone techniques. Overall though I did eventually find my style and flare within my business.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
My name is Day and I am the owner and creator of Final Form Creations. I started my small handmade business May of 2021, But have been creating since 2020. I make all pieces by hand and all materials used are either crystal or gemstones. My goal and dream is to expand into a full metaphysical/spiritual jewelry shop.
The start of Final Form actually came after I started my own spiritual journey. I still am on my journey and have grown so much since starting in 2020. I love being able to use crystals for meditation, everyday life, and just admiring their beauty and properties. My crystals in my collection all serve a purpose in my journey. I started out making just crystal bracelets as I had limited choices in my local crystal shops.(This has now grown and I make every kind of jewelry imaginable and I don’t shy away from challenges)
This helped me out tremendously as I always had my crystals close. I then thought “what about others like me “ who not only would like their crystals close but also get a cute accessory along with it. This is how Final Form Creations was born. I want to be able to help others with their spiritual journey or just their love for crystals. I do my best to educate myself on their healing properties and best uses so that I can educate others. This is why whenever I send an item it comes with a little info card on the crystals used in that creation.
For my wire work I only use copper as it has its own healing properties and is a conductor of energy for the crystal it’s paired with. Most of my work is done during creative waves as I made a rule to myself to only craft when I’m happy or excited. I want to put the feelings of love and happiness into each piece as I’m a firm believer that energy transfers. So I will never craft during times of frustration or uncertainty.This is also why I love Custom Orders as they ignite my creative spirit.
I named my business Final Form Creations after my spiritual journey and my love for anime. Throughout many peoples spiritual journey you are trying to become your higher self or reach that Final Form. Though you never stop growing and learning it is an important milestone to many. In many Anime Series or at least my favorites the main character or storyline is around trying to reach that last stage of power or transformation or the Final Form.
So I welcome you to the Final Form Creations Family
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
Absolutely! I want to continue to help those on their path especially at a local level. Healing the community is important. I am working towards having my own space or store to offer my creations exclusively along with other crystal pieces. This space is open to all and I’m a firm believer there is something for everyone in these types of spaces whether you believe in crystals as a spiritual tool or just want a unique creation to express yourself.
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
I think that there are two things that are ultra rewarding to a creative.
1.)Seeing your ideas come to life! Nothing makes me feel so accomplished! Being able to turn my thoughts into wearable art is an experience within itself.
2.)Others appreciating your art! This makes a creatives heart warm. Our creativity is reaching others and they understand us. These genuine interactions mean the world to creatives.
