Wow, what a mixed audience from all over the world... very impressive !
I am Linda, retired, and have been metalsmithing for about 13 years after a career in clothing design.
This was a total challenge to me..using metal as a medium instead of fabric !

As we have a motorhome, over a number of years, my dear husband drove me to classes throughout
California, Washington state and Arizona to learn different jewelrymaking techniques from artists
I admired. What a great learning experience.
As a result my personal style has evolved into an organic eclectic look of mixed metals.
I love doing necklaces and bracelets especially out of Argentium Sterling and Bronze clay, and
sell them at galleries throughout Canada.

I hope to learn and get inspired from all of you.
