Hi all,

    I just want to say thank you for sharing your stories with me. I
    have found this thread SO encouraging. All this time I thought most
    Orchidians were jewelers from the start. I now see that many of you
    had diverse and interesting careers outside jewelry and found
    yourself on that path somewhere along the way. This only reinforces
    for me that creativity is a lifetime pursuit, and that a career as an
    artist does not have to be a linear, all-consuming endeavor. I'll
    throw my stuff into the mix as well. 

    I was a college student, college drop-out, retail drudge, sandwich
    maker, nanny, daycare owner/operator (or as my husband likes to say
    "small human trainer"), now I am a returning college student
    graduating in May, writing tutor, and soon to be social service
    worker. Who knows what's next? I'm hoping it is mother, CBT
    therapist, and jewelry artist, but we'll see. 

Augest Derenthal
