I am a displaced southerner living in the Chicago burbs. I've always been artsy and have tried my luck with writing, cross stitching, and now jewelry. I have to say, the jewelry making seems to be the best by far! I really enjoy working with copper wire and gemstone beads.

In the near future, I plan on learning pottery making so I can create my own ceramic beads and pendants, and I plan to learn metalsmithing as well.
