ArtMetal

Dear Janice,

I saw that you delurked in Artmetal, but hadn't had the chance to reply yet. Deer are *special*

I visited your site. You are a very talented and productive jeweler, based upon the amount of work I saw on your site. Congratulations for all of your work. It may never feel like it's enough, but when you have more than three pieces and you didn't give them all away to relatives, that means that you have created your body of work and adding to it may be a mission that drives you each evening.

I have my 3 boys, run my husband's business and never seem to have enough art time, but I steal time to make things and they sell in a small gallery in town.

I will always have a place in my heart for large silver rings. Beautiful work. And yes, welcome to the active branches of the nut tree.
