Loves first sigh is wisdom's last... As a metalsmith/jewelry maker, I lose all sense of reason when it comes to gems and gold, which seems to be the definition of love. I think there's nothing better than the rush of watching the solder flow...a new piece being created...and seeing someone wear a finished piece! This blog is my space to display some of my work, and sprinkle in dispatches from another big passion in my life - wine. Enjoy!
