I have had a life-long passion for discovering natural things of beauty.  The variety of colors and patterns within stones is endless, like much of the natural world.  I love learning about stones and sharing that knowledge with others.  My wire-wrapping adventure began because one of my sons loved the fire in opals.  I took my sons to a Gem show, saw wire-wrapping and thought to myself, "I could do that!"  I haven't wrapped much lately, but I have been able to come across a lot of nice stone material and I now have a large cabochon collection.  I will do my best to have good quality stones on this site.  If you are ever in need of a stone, please ask.  I have gathered quite a large list of contacts in the past few years.                 One of my former students is from North Korea.  He has become a close friend and he also loves stones.  I have promised him that 10% of all internet sales will go toward his work of reconciling North and South Korea.
