I am a glass lamper and use my own beads to make jewelry. I also sell loose beads that I have made. I use all kinds of materials to make jewelry with: petrified wood, semi-prescious stones, crystals and other minerals I hunt and search for in many different areas. I use a lot of copper and silver (gold is out of my reach!), and know many tips and tricks on how to get copper not to "green" on skin when worn.
I also use a "forgotten" 17th century style of painting that is very intensive and difficult to do. I paint gourds that can be used as Christmas ornaments, put on stems and placed in bouquets, and many other uses.
I am also a potter, but am not potting right now because I do not have a studio big enough! I will eventually!
My email is wyyver@yahoo.com and I make jewelry to order!
