          Helloonie, Ink? What does it signify? Helloonie is a nickname given by a dear friend ages ago. Ink, because my training and background is rooted in the graphic arts;printmaking and commercial art.Ink is a coverall for a variety of skills, projects, and interests, paramount of which is silversmithing.

Self taught as a silversmith, designing and creating jewelry and ornaments since 1975 and a winner of numerous prizes and ribbons, I'm presenting a few of my favorite creations here. Woven metal, which is at the center of many of my designs is an enjoyable and meditative task and time away from the noisy machinery which jewelry making requires. Each piece is handcrafted and, as such, may vary slightly in pattern and size.

          The hot air balloon jewelry has been my specialty since 1993. At that time, my silver weaving, wire fabrication, and love for rainbow bright color resulted in the creation of a hot air balloon necklace using a handblown glass marble. The smaller necklaces soon followed and my search for beautiful old marbles, Venetian glass beads, and porcelain continues to this day. My jewelry travels more than I; finding appreciative owners all over the U.S., Canada, England, Finland, Iceland, and Poland. Anyone for the moon?
