I've loved rocks and sparkly things and ornaments forever. I startined cutting stones when I was 10 (over 30 years ago!) and started silversmithing when I was 12. I've been a full time lapidary for about 15 years now but quit the silversmithing back in the early '90's. My work went from mostly freeform cabochons to mostly beads as I started really focusing on drilling stones. I'm known as a "rogue lapidary" because while my work is mostly in "semi-precious" gemstones, I also work in non-traditional materials like bowlerite, fordite, vaseline glass, and other odd treasures I can get my hands on! |
