    I'm amazed at how many technical backgrounds people have. Then I
    think of all the details involved in jewelry making and not so
    amazed. 

    Here's my story: I answered an ad on a bulletin board of a grocery
    store in 1981. Part time help wanted, craft studio in the area. They
    were making jewelry; the rest is history. I had always worked with
    my hands as a kid, knitting, crochet, decoupage, etc. In high school
    it was shop classes, woodworking, drafting, metal works as well as
    creative arts, sewing, etc. I knew I wanted to work with my hands
    and to own my own business. I hold a BFA in Sculpture and Glass
    blowing. I have considered my primary income jewelry for many, many
    years. 

    Along the way, I did 17 years of waitressing, office temp jobs,
    direct home sales company, and two-shift a week type part time jobs.
    Some of that was for money, some of it for sanity. All of it makes
    me glad that I am my own boss and have the flexibility to do what
    needs to be done.
