gemstones amaze me. not necessarily the over cutting and polishing of gemstones. the mere existence of stunning colors that come from the earth should have everyone paying more attention to preservation.
after the accident that took out my running knee i started to play around with jewelry designing. actually beading. and not really designing. just stringing. i was pretty bad at it.
then i found access to gemstones. good lord. it’s become such a passion…playing with color, shape, texture with the earths output. my “studio” is covered in tools, findings, stones, and such. so now i am working from my kitchen table. if you want to see some of my stuff go to www.flickr.com/photos/millercanning
