During the day I am a mild-mannered scientist. But in the evenings and weekends, I make jewelry and drive my MINI Cooper.

Most of the jewelry in my Flickr pages can be found for sale at my online store, Contrariwise Jewelry. And if you're interested in a particular piece but don't see it available online, don't hesitate to send me an e-mail. I might still have it or can make something similar for you.

I also have a blog. If you want to take a look at it, it's at www.akacontrariwise.blogspot.com/ . I keep it updated with new stories regularly.

Have you ever checked out squidoo? It's a great site that's almost as addicting as Flickr. If you haven't been there before, you've got to check it out. Here is a link to my Squidoo Lens.: www.squidoo.com/contrariwise.
