Acknowledgements

I would like to thank my mom for her ideas, suggestions, and support, as well as for all the research she has done online for me.   She has spotted details that I'd overlooked.  She has listened patiently and with interest to my chatter about braiding projects when she had better things to do.  She is the one who pushed me to make necklace and bracelet sets when I wasn't inclined to do so.   Now I enjoy making different types of sets most of all.

I would also like to thank my sister for being the inspiration behind the chunky plain braids.

I am also thankful to Diane in Santa Barbara for her kind words and for encouraging me to look into showing my jewelry.  Her encouragement is what inspired me to put this website together.
