I am a designer, jeweler that has been in business for over 35
years. I have my BA in Studio Art, MA in Jewelry making and design,
GG in gemology.

I own a free standing location between the entrances of the largest
and busiest Mall in our area.

I transitioned from carving wax to working in 3 D CAD 10 years ago,
we have our own rapid prototype machine. I have a staff of
five,three jewelers and two sales.

Love what I do and enjoy going to work every day!

I am a self taught jewelry artist and I began designing and
fabricating jewelry in January 2010. I rely heavily on the internet
for all my learning needs as I live in a remote part of Canada and
do not have access to formal instruction or training. I appreciate
sites such as The Ganoksin Project, You Tube and Jewelry Geeks as
this is where most of my knowledge comes from, the rest from trial
and error.

I am a new subscriber to Orchid Digest and look forward to sharing
I am particularily interested in learning if anyone has
instructions for building a small personal sized spray etcher. I
took a class at the Mendocino Art center several years ago in which
we used one and I would like to try to make one. If anyone has
regarding this I would greatly appreciate hearing from
you.

thanks,
Dottie
