Hi!  I am the new Jewelry Making Editor for CraftGossip.  Here is a tiny bit about me, for more please see my bio on the editors page which should be up soon:

I have been beading since I was 5, sitting on the floor of one of my Mom’s best friend’s living room wrapped in a blanket with the sniffles, listening to Chicken Soup for the Soul on a record, stringing plastic white and purple beads into a necklace for my Mom and feeling like I had totally found my element.

That was just the tip of the iceberg in my love affair with jewelry.  I trained as a jeweler at UMass Dartmouth and made personalized tiaras, went on to write my Masters thesis on jewelry collecting, and then went to work for the Sotheby’s Jewelry Department in London, where I worked for over 4 years.

I am now a stay at home mom with a wonderful little boy and a little girl on the way and write a blog on contemporary jewelry in my spare time, which you can find here.

I love all things jewelry and will do my best to include here posts on different techniques, styles, artists, materials and exhibitions to name a few – but be sure to drop me a line if there is anything specific that you want to read about.  Below are a couple of images of my work to get to know me by
