Nature at it's best
I am a science geek.
My degrees are in natural products chemistry.
Therefore, I come at all of my work from the nature side.
Newly getting into woodworking since a friend I've known for a long time has a lumber mill and makes furniture. His cut off discard pile has some beautiful wood. I thought I can make something with those pieces.
Now working on combining the wood with the gemstones.
Please let me know how I am progressing.
Many years ago, I bought a gemstone faceting machine, and I taught myself to cut gemstones.
Now I use a CAD software to help me design high quality unique gemstones.
Later I taught myself metalwork.
I will always be teaching myself new skills and new ways of making objects of beauty.
In my searches for high quality gemstone rough, I will sometimes come across very well formed natural crystals.
Believing these natural formations are beautiful as they are, I started to make jewelry using rough crystals.
Please let me know if you have any questions, or if you are looking for something you can't find.
Thank you for taking the time to read about me.
