The three of us, my hands and I, have had a strong bond for oh some 20 somethin' years.. We discovered each other when I was an adventurous 3 year old in Jerusalem, and my dad put broken pieces of ancient pottery in my hands so I will put it together again. Now, I was 3, so I clearly don't remember this, but the fixed oh some 2000 years old pot still stands proudly to this day, for people to pass by it and hear the miraculous story of how a 3 year old put it together oh some 20 somethin' years ago...  That was when I discovered my hands had a life of their own.
Fast forward: School, Acting, Moving, Independence, Boys, Boys, Boys... Most of these years my hands were busy writing and smoking, smoking and writing...

A few years back I found out I had a talent for knitting. My hands simply wanted to knit..scarves, gloves, hats etc. It was a huge success when it came to birthday gifts & holiday gifts.. but also a huge success when it came to my cats chewing the yarn and putting their own artistis stamps on it.. Oy Vey. The yarn is now all piled away in the closet, away from any claws to reach it.
But the urge was still there, my hands pleaded with me to give them their 'fix'. 
SO, I discovered knitting with wire, and kitting with chains, and knitting with pretty much anything non-yarn like. My cats are still tempted to play with these metals... but most of the time they just fear them from a distance.

Now, what do I do with this crazy discovery???!! 
JEWELRY DESIGN. what an a-ha moment. all the pieces come together just like that ancient pot I put together oh some 20 somethin' years ago...

Here are some examples of my work, please feel free to comment & share!
