Biography
I love making things. I work with precious metal clay and make custom charms for earrings, bracelets and necklaces. I am also a metalsmith, using copper, brass, sterling silver, fine silver and gold. I am experimenting with epoxy resin in my jewelry components as well. I have a huge collection of semiprecious gems.
I make my own ceramic clay ball-shaped stamps and handmake platters and other functional pieces for friends and yearly art shows. I make small books of my work and do my own digital photography of all my work.
Interests
I am a metal smith and I also sculpt custom items and make assembled jewelry from precious metal clay. I started out as a potter, making bowls, teapots and round boxes. I got interested in the computer with Photoshop and added on books/journals. I learned to knit. I have a huge rubber stamp collection. I'm also interested in polaroid photography, image manipulation, image and emulsion transfers. Have a series of polaroid cameras, lomography cameras, and also take digital photos. I make ATC's and artist stamps now and have been learning mixed media painting and collage techniques for about 7 years. I am having so much fun!
