Comment: Nancy saw a demonstration I gave at Daniel Smith Inc. and came forward with an offer to show me the methods she uses as a jeweler. Her offer resulted in a workshop in my studio on Taylor Avenue, and she brought two friends, plus cookies! They showed me their silicon transfer method for printing on curved surfaces - we had a great time exchanging information. She sent me her first proof, below. Later Nancy asked me to make an aquatint box for her. I always admired her work with calligraphy on the several occasions when she sent notes via snail mail. Her jewelry work has been shown at http://www.facerejewelryart.com and Taboo Studios in San Diego.
