The wraps were my idea to place focus on the stone. The hammered texturing was my teachers idea. I went to Brittaney Golden Studios Jewelry School in Salt Lake City, Utah. I took her 7 hr. metal smithing class and it was so informative and fun. I can’t wait to take another class there. She’s a great teacher.

I love to see what other artists do each issue when it comes out. The projects you have are fun and creative and I always learn something new from you in your articles about jewelry making and the business aspects of it. Thanks for the encouragement, Kristene

I hope you’ll share more of your metalwork. I really like the organic feel of the pendant bezel, and the feathers accenting these pieces.
