I started making wire-wrapped pendants at first from the natural tumbled stones from a collection given to me by my grandmother. She used to have dozens on display in her home in Dell Rapids, South Dakota, and every time we visited when I was a girl, I'd spend part of my time admiring them for their unique and beautiful details. She'd tell me a little about some of them, although she was no expert. She, too, loved them for their natural beauty and enjoyed just looking and examining them from time-to-time.

​

For my jewelry, I only use natural stones (no resin or human-made "stones") and mostly use naturally-shaped pieces, although you'll also see some heart-shaped and other perfectly-shaped stones here and there. I mostly enjoy working with the odd-shaped rocks, however; I think I'd get bored just working with predictable shapes and straight edges.
