My first published article will be available in the June, 2007 issue of Lapidary Journal (pages 18-22). It is the first issue distributed under the magazine's new name "Lapidary Journal Jewelry Artist". I did a step-by-step project detailing how to make a pierced opal pendant. These are a few of the shots included in my original submission. Mark Anderson and I also have the sugilite brooch we made together featured in the Contributor's Gallery of the same issue (Page 40) .  Mark and I are currently working on other projects for Lapidary Journal, which will be published sometime in the fall.

The June issue should be available for purchase this week.
