The year was 1968 and my high school boyfriend’s sister, Sue Levine was just back from CA. She had been making earrings with brass wire and glass beads. After showing me her pliers, hammers and wire cutters and giving me some beads to play with she set me loose. I have not stopped since. I guess that is why I have started teaching shawl pin making workshops geared for knitters, crocheters and weavers with no experience with working in metal. It is a wonderful feeling to see that same look I had so many years ago. And, it combines my two loves.
