About Me

My photo
Born to artisan parents I grew up surrounded by the beauty of art & nature. My father an artist mostly working with pencil & charcoal. My mother a myriad artist some what like myself. They taught me how to appreciate the simple things in life. I'm a self-taught mixed metal jewelry artisan. Lost & searching in my late 20's I stumbled on what is now my passion... designing. Over the past six years my designs have evolved from simple bead stinging to "One of a Kind" mixed metal wearable art. I do not design to seek perfection for everything in life, even beauty has a flaw. Flaws are what sets us apart from everything & gives us our own uniqueness. The flaws I purposely overlook in each piece I create add to the beauty & depth of each design.

"SOLD" My first piece on Artfire.com

While working on my sites & linking my sites to each other my phone kept alerting me of e-mails. I have three e-mails linked to my iPhone: my everyday personal, Mountain Water Metals & Nature Babies (my online resale boutique for babies & toddlers). To my surprise Mountain Water Metal is where all the e-mails were. To my next surprise all of the e-mails were in reference to my 1ST sale on Artfire.com.

It's BITTER SWEET! All my designs are "One of a Kind", they are like my babies, all unique, all having a meaning behind the design, quote or phrase. This piece is one of my favorites that I ever designed. It's the first recycled piece of Sterling Silver I ever melted & it's the first double sided quote pendant I ever hand stamped. When I designed this piece I thought of every thing I liked. The quote is one of my favorite quotes, the piece of sea glass is my favorite color (deep teal green) of glass that I ever found. As for the cardinal direction charm..I've always been drawn to  compasses,  the compass rose, sundials & navigational instruments.
