Almost two years ago I took up jewelry making.  At that time I played with wire and beads but quickly came to realize that this type of 'assembly' was limiting.  I knew what I wanted to do but didn't know how to go about doing it.

The pieces that you see now are typically the product of experimentation - as I learn new skills and methods of design and fabrication I sell what I create.  There have been several occasions where I have been approached to create a special piece and it has been those times where I have been most challenged and have created some of my favourite pieces.  

For 2019 I've challenged myself to keep a social media schedule - a way of making myself accountable - in order to work on improving the skills I've already learned, and to move forward with my metalsmithing.
