I've always enjoyed creative hobbies, but the process of creating jewelry that others also find beautiful is very satisfying, from selecting the stone, planning the design and wrapping the wire. I never know just how a piece will turn out, but it's always different and a little surprising. Since retiring from teaching, jewelry-making is fast becoming a new and exciting career. Living in Florida, I have several coastal-themed pieces, but wire wrapping stones is my first love. I make necklaces, pendants, earrings, and bracelets for men and women.
