[Nfb-krafters-korner] Hello, I'm a new member

[laurie porter]

Greetings everyone:

My name is Laurie Porter, I'm so glad we have this list. I have been making and selling my hand crafted jewlry for the last 12 years. My main focus is beadwork using tiny sead beads woven together to make  necklaces, bracelets amulets and bead amulet bags. My designs are inspired by African and native  American bead weaving techniques both on a loom and off loom stitches.  I also do some stringing and wireworking with gem stones, Austrian Crystal, decroic glass, lampwork or fernis glass, cloisenay and fire pollished beads of all shapes and sizes. I have not gotten together a website yet  but I hope it will be in the near future.  I sell my pieces along with my other products at farmer's markets and craft shows around Madison Wisconsin. The other products I sell for  my business called WildLife Preserves My partner David and  I produce over 75 varieties of jams, jellies, preserves and butters made from scratch as well as a number of seasonal dry goods including smoked nuts, wild rice blends, spice mixes and dried shiiatake mushrooms. We also make pure Wisconsin maple syrup from a stand of old sugar maple trees in Northern Iron county. I look forward to getting to know you all on this list, and I hope we can organize a crafter's division. 

Peace,

Laurie
