I am a retired pediatric nurse practitioner. I have been making jewelry for approximately 5 years. Most of my work has been sold through word of mouth. I have recently branched out on the web to get more exposure. I love making jewelry especially when I am trying a new design. I have taken a few formal classes but most of what I have learned has been self taught. I read several beading magazines and I am constantly looking for new jewelry magazines at the library. I love trying out new techniques and experimenting with new stones to see how they come out. I hope you enjoy my jewelry as much as I do making it.
