Tell me Lynne, what drew you to choose Titanium ?

I guess it is all about colour. The first pieces I made at evening class involved gemstones and I used gemstone beads for a while until I started to use titanium which supplied all the colour I wanted.

I don’t have one favourite piece. It is often the last piece created.

I’ve recently started a new range of ‘landscape’ titanium, of which I enclose a preview below .
