Let me begin by sharing with you the motivating factor for deciding to blog. I'm a self-employed metal smith and produce both hair accessories and jewelry.
Originally from Pennsylvania, I moved to Arkansas in 1975 to become part of the "back to the land" movement. During that period of five years, I helped to build my own dwelling, lived without electricity, owned and operated a natural foods store and vegetarian restaurant.
For the past 32 years, I have been a self-employed metalsmith, who has been trained in fabrication of metal. My work can be seen at http://www.patriciabergman.com
