Addiction and Calder got me into my form of jewelry making.  I go to bead shows with 2 other people who are 'addicted' to buying beads. Going to these shows in the beginning led me to search for American made ceramic beads. Then I started making my own. Somehow, I found Calder's book on his jewelry. It is a FANTASTIC book. Thus begun my need to pound metal and make rivets.  My jewelry is sculpture.... at least that's how I see it.
