Greetings from Virginia

[palawler]

I'm Patricia, a (mainly) self-taught jewelry-maker from coastal Virginia, USA. Thank you for allowing me to participate in your forum. I started long ago putting together beads and other components to make pieces for friends and family. After (finally) receiving instruction in metalworking a couple of years ago, I found my home in fabricating silver jewelry. I sell on consignment at local shops.

I found your forum, by the bye, through The Orchid Digest, part of The Ganoksin Project, also a wonderful resource.

I'm glad to be here and appreciate all of your generous sharing of knowledge.

Hi Palawler

Welcome! Yes, I'm finding Ganoksin to be of more and more use as time goes on.
