I have been making and selling jewelry for about 30 years. I’ve gone through many phases–fashion jewelry, trendy jewelry, beadwork–but my love of working with metal and rocks has led me to concentrate on lapidary and metalwork. I have had the opportunity to study with some wonderful teachers expand my “vocabulary” of techniques, and, while I do have a certain style to my work, I constantly try to push my own limits. As an Orchid reader for a long time, I have learned so much from the helpful and gracious posters that I figured it’s now time for me to become “official”.; betsyrocks.com
