I am a Retired Nurse, wife, mother, grandmother. I am disabled and deal with chronic pain and for this reason need to focus my mind less on my infirmities and more on what life has to offer in the way of developing new interests. I am a beginner in jewelry making but am excited about learning all I can from others so that I can focus less on myself and more on creating beautiful and interesting pieces of jewelry. I am awaiting the delivery of a small kiln and am fascinated with PMC3. I look forward to sharing my experiences along the way as well as gleaning from the skills of others on this forum.
