Katherine O Pond
KP Classics
Pflugerville, TX. USA

I have been an admirer of jewelry all my life. I began designing and
fulfilling my designs with beads in 2001. I also took as many
community college classes on pmc and silversmithing as I could. I am
still a beginner but LOVE it. I have started classes to be a
certified bench jeweler but finances have put a temporary stop to
that (out of district classes are expensive). I hope this site will
give me more encouragement and continue to address my thirst for
jewelry making.

Caryn Joy Bloomfield
Oldsmar, Florida. USA

Hello, I have been making jewelry of all sorts since I was a young
child. From simple stringing to beaded flowers and now mostly bead
woven jewelry and free form. I love all aspects of art and do take
part in many craft projects. Competing for recognition is not a
specialty of mine, but I do like to sha re ideas and images. Nature
plays a big role in what I feel and make. It is a very big part of
my life.

Thank you,
Caryn Joy Bloomfield
