Laura shared photos of her work, told us a little about herself, and was very excited to have been selected! “Yay!! That’s nice~ thank you!! I’ll take a Gift certificate please!! Here’s a little about me: My grandfather was a diamond appraiser and jeweler in the ‘burbs of Toronto in the 1950′s. When I was born much later, I spent my visits sneaking down into his basement shop to quietly watch him across the tall expanse of his battered work station. Making. Creating. Inspiring.
The top photo is a pair of Emerald Earrings made with Silver Clay. The bottom photo shows a forged necklace Laura made using our fine silver wire.
