A pseudo-geek with an insane tendency to create jewelry (or chaos) whenever possible. I love the patterns, colors and textures of natural stones and have grown to enjoy combining these with subtle beauty of well-made lampwork, as well.

Love reading, computer games, silversmithing and GEMS!!! There are SO MANY wonderful gems out there-whether the typical "fine gemstones" or such wonders as jasper, petrified wood, dinosaur bone, agates or the phenomenal "Super Seven".

I sell my handmade jewelry online at Etsy.com: BrighidsForge.etsy.com and UnderCurrent.etsy.com (will be adding hand forged supplies).

Also, SilverShadow.etsy.com

Favorite inspiration for said jewelry: the patterns, colors and textures of nature and the world in general. Emotions sparked by those combinations, too.

PROUD MEMBER of Earthpath Artisans Street Team (EAST), Metal Smiths in Action (MSIA), and Florida Etsy Street Team (FEST). ALL of them are GREAT teams!!!

My favorite poems are "The Road Not Taken" (Robert Frost) and "Sea-Fever" (John Masefield).

Theme song: "Sunshine", by Jonathan Edwards!

Pet person! I have a Herd of 5 cats: Riley, Princess, Romeo, Chinook and Sassy, all of whom came from a shelter, the street or were "dumped" and adopted. No dogs, but that's only because my grandmother wouldn't allow it and (now that she's gone), the cats are adults and would not be able to adapt.
