I started making jewelry when my children were young. We homeschooled our sons and making jewelry gave me a creative activity while they were busy with their school work. I am a gardener. During the cold snowy Colorado winters making jewelry was like creating a garden of color for me. I love playing with colors and shapes and putting them together in unexpected combinations. I’ve always had a rock collection of some sort since early childhood, marbles too!
