Hello, I have a wide background in art covering several mediums including painting, bookmaking, photography, mosaic work, bead work, collage, etc. I tried PMC work 2 years ago and enjoyed it which led me to metalsmithing classes. I'm hooked on metalsmithing! I love working with metal, gemstones, cabs, and adding beads and other components to make completed pieces that are unique. I am a sponge right now, learning whereever I can! I hope to learn and share knowledge by joining this site. Lynn; www.abellaartjewelry.com
