I love doing wire wrapping.   Discovered the art a couple of years ago and learned the basic techniques from artists on You Tube. 

As a young adult, I drew, painted using water colors, and did some pottery work.  While working and raising a family, sewing and gardening were easier hobbies to follow.

Our family has made our home on the Central Coast for the past 29 years and we love living here. 

I have always loved beach rocks, shells, semi-precious stones and minerals and, found that wire wrapping gave me a way to incorporate these into beautiful art.

Using wire from hobby stores, at first, I soon discovered one of my daughters was very allergic to something in the wire, probably nickel.  Since that time, I use only 99.9% cooper wire or sterling silver, both of which are nickel free.  

Most of my wire wrap work enhances and keeps the focus on the semi-precious stone, shell, artisan or beach glass that is the center of the piece.  I like my pieces to be beautiful to look at and beautiful to wear, with a style that is casual and one of a kind.
