I
have been designing andmaking jewelry since 1992.The focus was always metal.I had never incorporated anycolor in any material in my jewelry until I started explor-ing the possibility of using woolfelt in my work. Whimsical andbright, the tassels were the firstexpression of my new direction.I knew I was on a very differentpath from the one I had been onwhen only working with mixedmetals. Now, I combine metal-smithing skills with an alterna-tive color choice: wool felt.
