I seem to have taken a detour (or hiatus) from my wire jewelry and focusing more on metalwork these days. I’ve been totally obsessed with riveting, stamping, etching and creating layered pendants.

There’s so much I want to learn and I know I shouldn’t rush through anything, but I feel like I must sample all I can.

I’ve also started collecting books on metal clay and polymer clay. Although I believe you’re never too old to learn, getting older does give one a sense of urgency!
