    About twenty years ago, I found myself looking everywhere for
    specific pieces of jewelry that I could envision very clearly, but it
    seemed nobody was making them. I suddenly realized-- I know what they
    look like, all I have to do is learn to make them! I lived in
    Washington DC at the time, and was a member of the Smithsonian. They
    have en extensive educational arm for members who live there, so I
    signed up for some jewelry classes. Soon I realized that I had found
    my proper vocation, and I've been doing it ever since.
