Wire was hand formed, hammered, and balled with a torch then woven onto the enamel piece. The bail is die struck from sheet metal using a hydraulic press then hand sawed, soldered, filed, and polished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI am inspired by the waters and marine life of the Salish Sea and the lush forests of the Pacific Northwest. The time I spend kayaking and backpacking help to fill my creative cup. The sights and emotions of being immersed in nature find their way into my pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Artist:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDebi has been making jewelry since her first beads were strung onto a safety pin and worn on shoelaces at age five.
