I live the mountains of Northeast Tennessee. I am starting to work in silver and other metal smithing. Currently working with fine silver. I also make necklaces and earrings. I am 62, retired RN. I live with my wonderful husband, a great dog named Loki, two iguanas - both old gals, 17 and 14 years of age, a sulcata tortoise, V'ger, age 11 and a leopard gecko. I feed numerous birds and love hummingbirds. I try to use nature for my products and believe in recycling silver. Looking to learn about casting. I am also a contra dancer. Lived in the Washington, DC area most of my life then in Florida for 14 years.; http://www.hemlockhollow.etsy.com hemlockhollow
