Introduction	As a child, I developed a love of crafting jewelry through the use of glass beads. At the age of 14, I was selling earrings on consignment at a local boutique. Around the same time, I was also making tiny, intricate figurines of fairies and dragons that required hours of painstaking detailed work. As an adult, I became certified in massage therapy and learned another way to use my hands. Crafting was always a favorite pastime of mine, and soon wire work and chain making were added to my repertoire. When I discovered the use of metal clay it allowed me to combine my sculpting skills with my jewelry craft in a brand new way. Now, my favorite project is to create a hand crafted piece of jewelry that has meaning to the wearer.
