After years of corporate work as a logistics information management specialist I finally have tome to use my creative abilities to create fanciful, up-cycled treasures and jewelry that delights my customers. That is happiness!
Years before retirement, I knew I wanted to work with metal but had no specific direction. I bought silver flatware at a garage sale and struggled to make a simple fish and teapot wind chime. I now create 20+ sea creatures and am developing a series of leaves made from discarded spoon bowls. I so enjoy saving my creation’s components from landfills and turning them into surprises that bring smiles.
My basement studio is calm and quiet. While developing my creations I listen to music and vary my repetitive work by dancing and stretching in between job operations.
