Since childhood I've loved rocks, minerals, rough gemstones, tumble polished finds. So, when I discovered I could buy beautiful semi-precious gemstones on eBay for incredibly low prices, I started accumulating the things. It got ridiculous, oh, not because I'd amassed hundreds, but because my practical side told me it's stupid to acquire useless things that I could only feast my eyes on. These things needed purpose!


I thought about taking up gold and silver smithing, but that didn't really seem very practical to me either. It probably would not have gone over big with my husband, plus I was raising four kids. I did not need a project requiring investment of money and time.


Then I stumbled upon wire wrapping -- I don't remember how -- and suspected it would make little impact on my life. It didn't! It required only a few inexpensive hand tools, and the wire wasn't very expensive either. I found what information I could online, started practicing, and caught on. To this day I totally enjoy wearing my lovely gems, and occasionally giving them away. Problem solved.
