Thanks! I'm a trained Jewelry Designer and for over 30 years my designs are rendered (hand painted by me) for high end manufacturers. Jewelers make my jewelry from my design renderings. I also taught at Parsons School of Design for 9 years and teach presently hands on jewelry making at 2 locations in NYC. I was so attracted to your work because of your approach to making jewelry and your wit. It is refreshing and inspirational. Yes, we all have lives with much going on and to make and write about a project in a way that shows that you are having fun while learning is so great. I look forward to your creations :) - Lisa

Thanks so much! It was a pleasure to design but i really love the rendering, painting process. That's where I switch to the right side of my brain and get lost in the detail and just connect with my paintbrush.
