I am a retired and have been an all around artist all my life but never found time to express myself do to making a living for my family, I did a lot of wood crafts also built furniture, boats, sculpting, painting, and played guitar for 40 yrs, I can not do anything really laborious anymore because of an injury to my back so I started wire wrapping, one of my big passions are stones, gems, and I get much pleasure in cutting, shaping, polishing them and then framing them and dressing them up to be beautiful pieces of jewelry, I have sold a few pieces and people had ordered a few costume pieces of jewelry from me and so far they have been very happy, I put 100% into what ever I make I cut and polish a lot of my stones which makes it very personal for me, I have been told I under charge for my things but to me if someone love something I made it means more then money, I also think everyone should own something nice that they really care about and I believe it's all about making people including myself happy.
