    Kay, I don't have a website or anything, since I don't do
    jewelrymaking fulltime. You can see one thing by going to
    www.lapidaryjournal.com and do  a search for my name and see the
    first page of the article I wrote on tumblepolishing (July 1999).
    There you'll see a fibula I designed and made (the earrings  next to
    it are nice, but  I don't know where  they came  from!). Also, I have
    some jewelry in Gallery 41 in Owego, NY, and we are working on a
    website (the title page can be found by searching for Gallery
    Forty-One). Sooner or later, some of my things will show up there,
    but nothing more than the title page is on-line right now. If you
    are ever in Owego,  let me know! I never have much jewelry on hand,
    but I've got lots of photos and photocopies of my things!  Basically,
    I like abstract and non-representational things, and am particularly
    fond of Alexander Calder, Lynne Merchant, and Scandinavian design.
    This past summer I discovered Claire Falkenstein's jewelry in an
    exhibit at the Long Beach Museum of Art. I also like to adapt
    designs/artifacts from "the field in which I am unemployed,"
    Assyriology (the history and literature of the Ancient Near East),
    to jewelry pieces. But words are a poor substitute for pictures! Let
    me know if you have any specific questions, and thanks for the
    inquiry. 

Peace, 
Judy Bjorkman
