My Favourite Past Time - Jewellery Making

My friends and family love
that I have this hobby because they are usually the recipients of my many hours work. I get a buzz out of watching them when they see their one-off creation, it's very gratifying.

http://firemountaingems.com/ is where I get most of my supplies. They have gorgeous gems and limitless findings, spacers and charms. I usually receive my parcel within days of ordering, and that's coming from USA to Australia.

This is how I spend my down time. I fully get into it and basically ignore everything else that's going on around me. I love using semi precious gemstones and silver although I've been creating some awesome pieces with copper.
