I was in direct sales with a popular Sterling silver company, and customers loved the product except for the fact that Sterling tarnished. I was aware of Argentium silver and that it is tarnish resistant, so I started metal classes for jewelry...and here I am today!

A lot has changed in my studio. I have a portable air conditioner to keep me cool in the summer! Yeah! And my work bench is crowded with works in progress. (I am a multi-tasker)

I also have a sketch pad and pencil nearby to draw ideas and determine measurements for a new item.

I get my ideas from pictures, architecture, television, and/Or an item will just pop into my head! That's when I grab my sketch pad (they're all over the house) and quickly sketch an idea. Sometimes a design will change during the process because I think of a different way to design the item. Or sometimes it develops into two items.

I love what I do! I hope you do too!
