I've been making jewelry for most of my life...except for a short break of 20 years when I ran my own wallpaper and paint business. I've been back in the jewelry business for the last 5 years and love it more than ever! I do art shows and sell my work in a few galleries. I continue to take classes to improve my skills and design concepts and have been lucky enough to have more ideas than time to create them. I look forward to loads of great new info from this web site! Many thanks. Michelene; www.tigressdesignstudio.com tigressdesignstudio
