Lady Work

My metals studio is located in Cary, North Carolina, just outside of Raleigh. 

I love chain-work and find it relaxing as well as mind-clearing.  If I am working on a non-chain piece and things aren't going well, a bit of chain-work refreshes me and sets me right.  Even after a short stint of chain-work, I'm ready to try the non-chain piece once again.  Invariably, my labors  go more smoothly.  So I say, hooray for chain-work!
