I am a jewelry designer, collage artist, wife, mother, CPA and volunteer. I like almost everything about jewelry and am constantly learning new techniques, usually well before I've mastered the last one. I've tried many different art and crafts, including: crochet, drawing, paper-making, dollhouse miniatures (learned a lot of techniques for that one), sewing, embroidery and knitting. Sometimes I really get into it, other times I just dabble. All of those experiences come to my aid when I want to try something new. Come along with me as I continue to explore different things that I hope will improve my design abilities.
