I study metal arts; this is my spot in class. I was given a jewelers bench and tons of tools so I have a lot to learn! -

My favorite part of metal arts is texturing metal and adding patinas to make cuffs and earrings findings. -

Designing a summery memory wire bracelet, deciding how to place the beads and what to include on the flower dangle. -

I spent quite a few years doing bead weaving. It's a very enjoyable process but it takes good eyesight, for sure!
A Lifelong Love
I have been creating jewelry and window crystals for as long as I can remember. It is my love of beads that has been a constant in my life. With their variety of color, shapes and sparkle, there are always new designs to be made. I first began playing with "love beads" and over the years my techniques and materials have evolved and continue to do so.
I have a beautiful studio filled with an array of materials and tools. I like to work when the light is streaming in the windows so that the room is well lit and bright. I usually start with a particular focal bead or strand of beads and start pulling out trays of beads to see what speaks to me. In recent years I started pursuing the metal arts. I have added a jeweler's bench to my studio. I create metal jewelry and findings and look forward to seeing where it leads me.
My passion lies in designing and creating things that bring joy to the wearer (or hanger, in the case of window crystals!). Every time I mail a package to a customer, I feel great excitement at the thought that something I've created will be enjoyed by someone across the miles!
Thank you for visiting my Etsy studio! I hope you'll also visit my website!
