Welcome

I'd like to say that metal always called to me, but it didn't. I wasn't born with silver in my veins. I got into jewelry because I wanted to spend a spring semester goofing off and I was fortunate enough to attend a liberal arts college that allowed me to do just that.

There was rather a lot of melting in the beginning. And burns. And swearing. And saw bites. And firescale. But little by little, I've got the hang of bending Sterling to my will and coming out with a nice finished product.

What influences the jewelry?. Fantastical stories in particular. My shelves are crammed with lush, illustrated faerie tales and sweeping epic trilogies like Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials , Lord of the Rings , and Garth Nix's The Old Kingdom . It's the love of stories such as this that drove me to want to adorn myself with them. To make jewelry as potent and sumptuous as the stories that inspire me. I hope they'll inspire you too.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by.
