Many have a natural ability to do something, whether it's sewing, drawing or singing, but Western junior Molly Swesey has a natural ability to design the perfect piece of jewelry for any occasion.

Swesey, 21, an independent jewelry designer from Bellingham, said jewelry making is addictive because she has so many different possibilities and it

sets her apart from others. "I started making jewelry last year," Swesey said. "I didn't know how to do anything. I knew the basic components of making a bracelet and the correct materials to use, but once I started working at Bead Bazaar I learned a lot of techniques."
