I love to make jewelry using both traditional materials and others not so much so. I consider myself a total beginner in some areas and a novice in others, having taken a bunch of classes in the Santa Monica, CA. area. I am a jewelry tools hoarder and am the proud owner of many tools I haven't used yet. My Little Smith is awaiting a safe setup before being initiated. I am a member of the Culver City Rock and Mineral Club and utilize their lapidary/jewelry shop frequently.; http://www.jetsens.com
