I love stones. When I couldn't get settings for my large and oddly shaped stones, I taught myself to wire wrap. Then, I became smitten with the world of metal smithing. Then, wouldn't you know it, I discovered precious metal clay and glass fusing. I do it all. THEN, (this is my last "then," I promise) I discovered how much joy there is in teaching and turning on that light in another traveler. When the student is ready, the teacher appears. Teachers are still, fortunately, appearing in my life daily. I share my knowledge and I share my toys (equipment and studio) joyfully with other open minded travelers on similar journeys.
