Why are you visiting?
To make new friends
What is your favorite type of jewelry to make?
Necklaces/Pendants
Tell us about yourself! What makes you interesting, unique, funny, talented, or...?
The major in college was art but it never materialized as a career. My diversified background goes from accounting to corporate executive but that is all in the past. What is only important is today; the freewill and freedom to do today only what I want to do.

My luxury is having the time to work in my medium, gold, silver, copper wire and gemstones. Highly polished metals seems to make my soul sparkle like the diamonds you see on the water when the sun is shining. I’ve done many things in my life, and I’ve done them well but my passion is creating jewelry.

I’m quiet and serious about my work but I really get excited about blue gem stones especially precious gems. Whether precious or semi-precious, they all come from the same place, our beautiful mother earth.
My website is:

wirework
What best describes your style?
sophisticated
What are your favorite colors in making jewelry?
Blue, blue and blue
What are your favorite beads and stones for making jewelry?
Love them ALL!
