Maxine Howard
Ramrod Key, Florida. USA

Hello, I am a retired semi-conductor tech. Now living in Florida. I
have a wonderful husband, we have been married for over 40 years.
Two grown children, and two adorable granddaughters.

I quit smoking Dec 13, and feel in need to do something, to help
when I get nervous, and want another cigarette. I have always
admired, and wanted to learn to make my own jewelry.

So after reading a few forums, I ordered a wire kit, to help me get
started. and a Also being interested in the Metal Clay, I had read
about on the forums, I got this book Metal Clay In A Day by Tammy
Garner

Looking forward to learning to make my own jewelry. Being very
allergic to certain metals, I will have to use materials that will
not break me out.

I will have to stick with sterling and Anodized Niobium.

This forum design is different then any I had used in the past. Not
exactly sure how that will work out. Looking forward to meeting
others.
