Hi everyone.
Just popping in from the heart of the North American continent!!!!
I live in Winnipeg Beach Manitoba...the centre of North America

WE actually are having an early spring! warm and sunny right now- around 15 degrees C!! Strange weather for us in March!

I am fairly addicted to creating jewellery with a preference for sterling along with lampwork cabochons. Got into lampwork about 3 years ago and drifted off into silver working shortly later. I have been fiddling around with recycled gold lately too.

Lots of fun. I do sell my jewellery in several shops and art galleries around here as well.

This forum looks wonderful from the parts I've read so far!

Hello Cathy, it is lovely to see a new member.

Hi Cathy, I am new here too, but these folks are just so friendly and helpful I think i am going to stick around a while.

As to lampwork, well before I came here I had no clue what it was so had to look it up, you lampwork people sure make some nice things, the capacity for learning here if not from the members themselves but from the links they provide is really quite something.

Off to continue looking into reticulation thanks to Jille.
