I recently moved to the Seattle area from Houston, Texas and have
not yet reestablished my business here. I have been designing beaded
jewelry, primarily of precious stones, for approximately 10 years
hoping to expand my business here with more opportunities to work
with experienced jewelry designers. I have previously been a member
of Orchid, at the suggestion of a mentor, and have found the
articles immensely helpful as a beginning designer. The topics and
input donated by a wide variety of artisans from all over the world
are unique and so very valuable in maintaining this field as a
resource for professionals. Thanks for allowing me the opportunity
to participate.
