I am a librarian, by trade, but love to make jewelry, as well. I started out making stitched bead jewelry, which is gorgeous but time consuming. It hen incorporated metal and wire wrapping, which is much faster and creates the kind of jewelry I love to wear. I also have a pretty hefty steampunk vibe...if I could get away with full-on steampunk clothing, I would do it in.a heartbeat!!! So, my jewelry is cool, quirky and satisfies my creative spirit!
