I've loved jewelry ever since I was little & my parents gave me my first piece of jewelry at Christmas. I have a very large collection of jewelry.
I joined the Army at 17 & stayed in for 8 years. I broke my neck but didn't have problems until I broke my back later on . I finally had to give in & get out ~ I wasn't able to fulfill the Army's physical fitness demands. I was trying hard to get & keep a job but it was hard as I was hospitalized constantly. I finally stopped working in 1991.
Having 4 children kept me busy, but there was still something missing. My love of jewelry turned into my teaching myself how to make it. That was about 5 years ago, & that's where my journey began.
Today, I am proud member of the community of Self Representing Artist Jewelry Designers. I'm self taught in Wire Wrapping, Beading, PMC, Stamping, Soldering, & am learning Lampworking! I just love it all & can't pick just one!
I can't wait to share my jeweled journey with you and hope you like what I do! If there's anything you'd like from me, I'm only a contact away!
