Hi. I am Dawn E. Bryant. I am an award-winning artist/photographer/artisan jeweler who has just set up a jewelry repair/design studio in an old Burlington Northern caboose, BN 12329, where I work in PMC, wire wrap, metalsmithing, weaving and anything else that strikes my fancy. I also offer jewelry repairs as a service to the community I live in, as we are so far from such services.

In addition to metalsmithing, wire wrap and PMC, I currently make jewelry that centers on fantastic natural stone focal beads in which I see a "scene or picture" of some sort. I also make jewelry based around original Prismacolor (colored pencil) paintings I do on shrink plastic and use as focals.

My Prismacolor artwork has been published in several venues, including a new NorthLight book by Ann Kullberg that came out this spring.

I hope to expand my online jewelry business so that I am actually contributing to the family budget (which seriously needs stretching).

I teach workshops in photo composition, beading, beginning wire wrap and prismacolor shrink art jewelry at the high school level and through the local art gallery to adults.

Just as I am hungry to learn, I am also happy to share what knowledge I have. I hope no one minds my learning from them and I hope others will be able to learn from me. As it says in the bible, God did not give us our talents just so we could hide them under a bushel - he meant for us to share them. I love to share my jewelry and any knowledge I have that will help someone else expand and grow. :)
