Working with minerals and metals has been a childhood passion to me. When I managed to buy tools which allowed me to fulfil this dream of preparing jewellery and accessories using these materials, the possibilities of designs became infinite, especially once I figured that I could use the same acid and etching method to add decorative metal pieces to gemstones and other rocks, and even make my own wax stamp. Adding wood into this combination is something I will be experimenting with in the future.
