About Me

My uncle has worked in jewlery for as long as I can remember. I used to visit him at the shows he would work, and later, I would help work the booth selling gemstones and fabricated jewlery he had made.  I would buy stones that I loved from him and he would set them into custom jewlery.   I started buying too many stones to have him set them all and eventually, like a dragon with a hoard, I had a giant pile of gems (I just didn't sleep on them.)  I decided that I wanted to do more with my gemstones than just collect them in a box, so I started looking into different jewelry techniques.   I didn't have the funds to get into casting settings like my uncle, but I had made chainmail jewelry for a few years, so I had a lot of wire sitting around.   I started wire wrapping. 

Guys.  I was bad.  Really bad.  I was working with all the wrong materials, I felt like I couldn't even get close to what I was seeing online, it was stressful.   Eventually I ran into a subreddit with some awesome wrappers, and found a few wire wrapping groups online.   I started watching every tutorial I could find on youtube.  I learned what I was doing wrong and adjusted my materials.   I tried dead soft wire and it was like the world opened up to me.   I spent a lot of time honing my craft and building a style.  Recently, after receiving quite a few requests, I took the leap into writing tutorials of my own.
