I love horse shoes, the shape is appealing to me, the application – fascinating. I have a friend who was a farrier & I enjoyed tagging along watching him work. When I started creating jewelry, I figured the horse shoe was a all encompassing symbol of all horse people. Doesn’t matter if you’re an English rider, a rodeo girl or a trail riding mama, the horse is what ties us all together.
One question that I get asked a lot every time I show my jewelry is, “How did you get started doing this?” or “How long have you been doing this?” Among many other questions, like “You MAKE all of this?”
I feel so fortunate to have been featured in the Canadian Cowboy Country magazine. Check it out here: http://www.cowboycountrymagazine.com/index.php/component/content/article/92

I was ecstatic to be featured in the October 2010 issue of Cowboys & Indians, the premier magazine of the West. It was an amazing honour.
