Hallo, my name is Jutta and I am from Germany. Being addicted to chinese jade, especially the wonderful little auspicious carvings, I wanted to start with a little jewelry making to make those cuties into wearable charms with a special attitude. Bead stringing was the first step, now I am deep into wire wrapping and weaving. I am learning a lot from this wonderful blog and many other sources on the www. Germany is an underdevelopped country, when it comes to jewelry making as a busines, craft or hobby, so I have to learn autodidactic all by myself, with the trial and error method. And with the help of all those wonderful artists ready to share their knowledge with the seeking novice...! ;-)
