I'm Pat, I design and make silver and gold wire crochet jewelry, using gemstone beads, crystals and pearls. I started out bending wire to make freeform mountings for cabs and faceted stones, also in silver and 14k gold fill wire. The current market prices on both have had me working a bit more in Artistic and Para wire, copper core with permanent coat, in vast array of colors, but a beautiful silver plate in Para Wire. I'm careful to mark which is which when i finish a project, it is very difficult to pick out which is which in the thinner 26,28 and 30 gauges.
I also write education/prevention material for missing and exploited children: parental and stranger abduction, runaway and throwaway issues. The books, stories are fiction, one is interactive fairy tales, Red Ridinghood, Hansel and Gretel and Pinocchio, which i also did as an interactive play for schools to develop. l included stage suggestions for set, costume and makeup. can be very minumal. there is also a second interactive play.
