I am a bead maker who specializes in hand-cut and hand-rolled heishi and tab beads and also cut cabochons. I use natural turquoises, variscites, corals, jet, and shell. I source all my bead making materials in the rough form and use a lapidary machine and drill press to make my beads. I do my own silver smithing for the small silver components featured in my jewelry. I utilize sterling silver wire and sheet from my local jewelry supply store. I will occasionally use gold when I can afford it. My jewelry is a combination of traditional Navajo jewelry styles mixed with contemporary designs.
