Tell us a little about you and how you started making jewelry.
"My name is Nicole Laskin and i was a born and raised German. I moved to the US in 2004 after marrying my husband of now 8 years. ( no children yet, but we are working on it.......) Being a Nurse from a different country was not easy so we both ended up in New Mexico were I finally got a license and started working in a tiny hospital near the border.
I painted before I started metal smithing 2 1/2 years ago, it was actually by accident, I was bored during my vacation in New Jersey ( visiting parents in law) and I went to a silver smith to take a 10 hour course and I have been hooked ever since.  I bought tons of books and basically learned by trial and error and I am still trying. Eventually I want to make it my real job and quit nursing."
Your favorite animal and color?
"My favorite color is midnight blue and my favorite animal is my dog. ( unconditional love and affection , a shrewd sense of humor, voracious appetite and generally a lot of fun."
Other than Artfire where else can we find you?
"You can also find me on Etsy under nicilaskin.etsy.com "

Thank you Nicole for taking time out of your day to do this for us.  It is always fun to learn a little about a artist behind the designs.
