this here is arky. when i first wanted to get serious about silversmithing, i made a flyer that said "i want your old silversmithing equipment!". he responded and helped me set up my original shop, all for free. a wonderful man!
i have three passions in my life~ my family, my jewelry, and my music. this blog is about all three. (cross country skiing is a close fourth, in the winter there will be a bit of that here as well!) i am the owner of my own business, silver sparrow designs. i make unique, rustic, organic silver jewelry. i am super passionate about my work and am so very grateful to be able to work at home and be with my kids.
