Ever since the first time I remember watching my dad weld and use a cutting torch I was mesmerized by those flying blue sparks I wasn’t suppose to be looking at. I even remember the smell. Kinda of like after fireworks. From that moment on I knew I want to play with metal in some form. I started making beaded jewelry in high school and I would take weird small little toys and make them into earrings. I always wanted to learn to solder. Finally that day came when I was about 30, and then I learned casting. Now I am always trying to find more ways to spend as much time as I can in my studio creating. I love learning new things. I remember just two days ago my 3 year old daughter was watching me solder and she said “Mommy what’s that?” I explained my soldering torch. Hopefully she’ll be hooked too.
