About the Artist
I have no formal jewelry making experience.
Everything I know, I have gotten from YouTube, books and my brain.
I started making jewelry, two years ago by marrying various pieces of broken jewelry to chains and findings.
I took a left turn and began to work on Copper.
I credit my younger brother with steering me toward the magic of Copper.
I have learned to make patinas from Salt, Vinegar, liquid Ammonia Borax, Red wine Vinegar.. I've even used potatoe chips to get a patina on the copper.
To the untrained eye, my studio would appear to be chaos.
I call it organized chaos.
