How It All Started

While attending an art show in the spring of 2004, I saw the most beautiful copper wire jewelry crafted by a former classmate.  Her beautiful workmanship was my inspiration for making jewelry.  A few months later, I went to a craft store and purchased a spool of craft wire, small tools, and a book about making wire jewelry. I discovered this to be more difficult than expected and soon decided that twisting wire was not for me. However, I still wanted to make jewelry. That's when I discovered beading and its endless creativity, and I've been beading ever since.
