I have always enjoyed handcrafting skills ever since I was a child when my mom taught me to sew on her industrial strength sewing machine. Through the years I've learned other handcrafted skills mainly from how-to books and retail store classes - crocheting, cross-stitching, knitting, quilting, and now jewelry making.Wire wrapping anything and everything became my passion ever since I took a class on wire wrapped rings several years ago.
I have since expanded my jewelry making skills to include metalsmith techniques using torches, the jewelers saw, flex shaft, hydraulic press, rolling mill, etc. I gained these skills through classes and workshops at the NC Crafts Center and Pullen Arts Center in Raleigh, NC, jewelry artists retreat, and local bead/jewelry supply stores.
I incorporate mixed metals (sterling, copper, and brass), gemstones, semi-precious stones, pearls, and crystals into my one-of-a-kind designs.
My newest line incorporates durable glass resin that I custom tint.
Now that I am ramping up with lampwork glass bead making, I will be adding my One-of-a-Kind beads to my collection.
