I always feel like writing a bio is sorta like trying to contain myself in a box. Yikes... I'll never fit!!!!!

I am a single(taken;) mother of three amazing children. Cody, 22, back from foreign exchange in Brazil and currently studying journalism at Columbia in Chicago. Kathryn my brilliant beyond her years 15 yr old daughter who joins me at my bench frequently and Calvin my 13 yr old eternal optimist...who is sitting here asking me, "Are we rich, yet?" HA!

I am also an actress and professional singer. My most recent role was playing the infamous Sally Bowles in Cabaret. I truly miss her.

And of course I design/jewelry. Lots and lots of jewelry meticulously crafted from vintage stones, vintage filigree, hand harvested gems and brass sprung form old tooling. I have honed my unique setting style over the past 15 years. Every turn a deliberate celebration of the what the human spirit endures through it's constant evolution. I love what I do and hope you do to. You can find me on etsy, at myspace or my website 1ofmykind.com/ .

Many Blessings,
