Introduction	I love to make jewelry. I started making jewelry when I receieved a really unique pearl necklace. I couldn't find earrings any where. So I made my first pair of earrings to go with my necklace. Then one day I thought it would be cool to have a really long necklace made of black crystals. I went and bought what I thought I needed and went for it. It took me a year to finish. I pulled it apart alot. I re-did the necklace twice(because I bought the wrong wire) until I felt it was perfect. Then I made the earrings to go with it. After that I was hooked. So I have been making jewelry ever since. Then my friend was making a soldered art project for the school we attend. When I saw it, a flood of ideas came rushing in. I had to learn how to make soldered jewelry. I took a stained glass class. The rest is history. I am having tons of fun putting together fun and unique things for family and friends. I have posted a few things I have done. I will keep adding as I come up with things.
