I think that I will be a shadow, at least for a while.

Sheri Snoddy
Columbus, GA. USA

Have been making jewelry for about 8 years. Mostly strung beads
(pearls, crystals, semi-precious silver, etc) and
off-loom beadwork. Have recently taken classes on wire wrapping and
some soldering. Need much more practice there! Sell jewelry from my
home. Looking to expand to a website, but need better pictures and
right venue. Glad I found your site!

Judy Whitfield
Georgetown, TX. USA

I have been making jewelry since the 1970’s, but have tried to begin
developing it into a business during the past ten years. I started
wire wrapping to add features to my strung pieces and have recently
begun to delve into metalsmithing. I enjoy etching copper and
different types of embellishments

I am new to metals coming from beading and metal clay.

Hi all, I am a serious student taking private instruction in NYC. I
currently work in a different field but have always been an artist
and have fallen in love with jewelry design and making. What is most
exciting to me is bringing a piece to life from inspiration to the
finished piece. I hope to learn from this forum and look forward to
seeing other people’s work and creative process.
