Hi!  Thanks for dropping by.

I would like to introduce myself and tell you a little bit about My Wire Works.

My name is Margaret and I’m a Wyomingite by birth, currently living in California. You may well ask “Why California?” since it is overcrowded, the freeways are always jammed and the air quality lacks sufficient oxygen to be called “pure”.  Some days I ask myself the same thing but since wirewrapping can be done anywhere, what the heck, these are the card I've been dealt.  Hopefully soon I will move to Virginia.

For the last 35 years I’ve spent most of my working days wearing fancy and extremely tight high-heeled shoes, uncomfortable clothes, fighting rush hour traffic, and answering to someone else’s demands on my time and creativity. Most of the time I hated what I was doing and always had my eye out for something more appealing and personally satisfying.  I had always loved doing creative, “artsy crafty” projects, only to be told that I was wasting my time, “it doesn’t pay the bills!”  I have spent the first half of my life doing it “their” way. Now I’m here to tell you “I’m doing it my way!”

One day, a friend, who has a similar background and similar interests, was scanning one of the home-based business magazines and noticed an ad that promoted making and selling jewelry from home. He called the number in the ad, asked the pertinent questions and passed the information on to me. I went bonkers! It was exactly what I was looking for. I jumped right in and the rest, as they say, is history!

I purchased the videos advertised and flew to Louisiana to meet with the producer and his wife. The experience changed my life.  Many artists in their chosen field will not tell you how they do it, or how you can do it. This generous artist and his wife, however, did and do share their knowledge and experiences. They share in abundance. Their names are Preston and Mary Reuther, wirewrapped jewelry pros.

I am extremely happy that I met and studied with the Reuther’s. It has allowed my natural abilities and creativity to expand beyond my hopes. I am now doing something that I love! Thank you for the opportunity to share my art with you and I certainly hope you enjoy it.

 Again, thanks for dropping by hope you find a piece of wirewrapped jewelry that interests you!
