MrsD,
Thank you for your post.
I have purchased from box chain stores locally, fire mountain gems, a few lovely stores in Michigan and finding my own pieces on the beautiful waters of Lake Superior, upper Lake Michigan, and Michigan.
I love this hobby. It's relaxing and if I get overstimulated I can leave it and come back to it later. I like to make a variety of styles, and I love to play around til my design feels right, like a soft sweater in the fall. My favorite type of jewelry to make is bracelets.
I love rocks! I have just started using this medium. I'm slowly learning. The stones amaze me. I could rock hunt everyday until my brain gave out if I lived somewhere like that.
I'd love to see your work. No one else I know does this.
I also love your bird photo. I've become very interested in birds over the last year. A few weeks ago I bought a picture book more or less about North American birds. I'm going to put out a finch feeder Nd hummingbird feeder. I love to watch them.
