I have been making jewelry for over 10 years. It started out with just the simple basics, earrings, bracelets etc. and from there I challenged myself to take it further. I am self taught, never took a class, just bought a lot of books.
I have a love for gemstones I guess that comes from living in Arizona and close to the Petrified Forest. I remember going there a lot growing up and buying a handful of beautiful rocks
Wire wrapping for me is addictive. I am still perfecting it. My favorite is wrapping cabochons I can't seem to get enough of it. I get my ideas from catalogs, and practice a lot. I also watch videos especially for new wrapping techniques. I love beautiful jewelry and sparkle and I make jewelry using crystals. Can't afford diamonds but who wants diamonds when you can have crystals.
