I have been Metalsmithing, with an emphasis on the ancient art of Repousse and Chasing for approximately 10 years, my latest work being a silver Pelican Medallion for Mistress Ayse, a Longship design for Sir Lachlan, and my husband’s and my Court Barony Coronets. I am currently working on my Kingdom A&S Projects and will be completed with those sometime in January.
