Maker Information

Location Urbandale, Iowa

After retiring from teaching, then owning an Inn and Gift Shop, I learned how to make jewelry, the metal smithing kind.  I fell for the soldering, riveting, forming, cutting and finishing stones, you name it, I am still learning new skills.  There is something about the transforming of sheet and wire metal into a lovely, unique backdrop for a special stone.  Like, who doesn't like rocks, pretty ones?

My local Lapidary Club has a clubhouse where I can use specialized tools to finish stones.  We also have a great Gem and Mineral Show with vendors all over the world, even Australia!  You will see some of his Boulder Opals I love so much.

Life is good!
