What do you make? why? I do copper electroforming (electrically bonding metal/plating). With that technique of electroforming I make a large variety of copper plated jewelry incorporating copper plated organics such as real flowers, leaves and insects. 

I have a variety of hand wrapped hair accessories, hand hammered hair forks and hair sticks, bangles, septum rings ,necklaces and sets.

I also have an array of earrings including everything from simple everyday designs to gauged earrings, and patinated hoops. 

I use jewelry making as a form of meditation. I love the process of creating something and the pride of the finished product.  

What care do you take?  Each piece requires unique care. For example, when I am working with organics such as winged insects or fresh flowers, each of these pieces requires days to complete. I must be extremely deliberate in the way I handle these while preparing them for electroforming. 

What are you hoping the receiver experiences? The joy of owning something unique and made with love.
