Metalsmithing Jewelry






A few years back I started to take a jewelry making course at the local community college. I had just come back from a really bad time and I was not working. The doctor suggested taking some kind of a hands on class to get me back into the swing of things.

Two really great things happened as a result. First, I began to gain some confidence back as my jewelry making skills improved and second, I met my dear friend , John.

John and I really enjoyed making jewelry. We would go into the lab and create for hours and hours. he really has a talent. he can look at a piece of metal and just turn it into the most beautiful piece of art. He really has a vision. I, on the other hand, kind of plodded along, still enjoying myself immensely.

I do not take the jewelry class anymore (cost prohibitive) but I still enjoy a great friendship with John and I still enjoy making things!

I posted a few pictures of some of the things I made during that time.
