Jeweler-Wrapping Stones

I am recently a retired library clerk. I have always loved beachcombing for rocks, and scouting

gravel pits for stones and treasures. After tumbling/polishing a great number of pieces, I began

looking for a way to display my results other than placing them in jars and on tabletops. I

discovered that I really enjoy wrapping these little polished pieces with wire and making

“wearable art” with them. It is fun trying new designs……but I can’t wait to get back to the

beach this summer!
