Handmade Store: Oeuvrer

My father was an antique dealer, via artist, and specialized in small items--crystal, silver and jewelry. I saw much design and was in awe of the metal work. I began very humbly with crafting and stringing but was thirsting for more artistic and skilled creations. I had a jeweler friend who let me watch him work and talk to me about metalsmithing. Every Christmas and Birthday my husband got me a metal smithing tool. Now I have a functioning studio and create what my thoughts dream at night. Now I'm in three local galleries and I am so excited that people like my work.
