This is yet again another design inspired by my friend and teacher Dale "Cougar" Armstrong. This is the first piece I made, so some refining will be needed on the next piece. I am changing the clasp to a larger more decorative style.
I had a hard time photographing this one, so you will have to look at it in pieces! This is yet again another design based on work from Dale Armstrong. Large pink mountain jade center cab with matching chalcedony drops.
I am a jewelry wire artist; my designs are all about bringing out the beauty in the stone. My pieces have an unusual blend of traditional and contemporary designs. Some delicate, some big and sassy, I don't want to look like everyone else! My pieces are one of kind pieces of art. I work with silver, gold, copper and brass wire and semi-precious stones. I have always been involved in the arts in one form or another; drawing, painting and photography are a few of my favorites. I was an Art major (graphic design and photography) in vocational school and college. The design principles I learned there have come in handy in many areas of jewelry making. I have spent the last 20 years in Sales and Marketing and hope to someday leave the corporate world and make jewelry my full time business. I finally figured out what I want to do when I grow up! Working with wire has been a fascinating and rewarding journey; I have finally found my passion!
I have trained with many great wire artists over the years including, Dale “Cougar” Armstrong, Lisa Niven Kelly, Connie Fox and Erin Gonzalez-Hicks just to name a few. They have given me great direction, encouragement and countless inspiration.
I live in eastern Pennsylvania with my Husband and golden retriever Amber.
