This is the only opportunity you will have to view this side of Dale Armstrong. She is going to share with us her feelings, desires and special thoughts on wire jewelry. We have all come to love her personable nature and her easy-to-understand instructional materials. But this is the chance to get to know Dale as she REALLY is!
A die-hard rockhound, lapidary, and wire jewelry designer, instructor and author, Dale credits her mom for spurring the main interest that led to Dale’s chosen career. Her mother was an avid rockhound and many, weekend family adventures involved traipsing through the White Mountains of New Hampshire in search of abandoned pegmatite mines. This is where Dale’s fascination with, and education of rocks and minerals began, some 40 years ago.
Dale/Cougar, has a diverse art background, training in two-dimensional art with Carl Haskins of Vermont, and William Keyworth of New Hampshire. She also spent several years receiving personalized instruction with Karl Drerupe, renowned cloisonné and repossé artist. Dale attended the University of South Florida where she studied fine arts and geology. She worked as a technical, advertising artist for several years, ‘before the age of computers’.
Under her studio name of Cougar’s Creations, Dale displays her works at juried art shows, where she has taken many awards. As a featured artist, Dale has been interviewed on live television and has works for sale in museums and galleries. Dale “Cougar” Armstrong is a regular contributor to Step-by-Step Wire Jewelry magazine and has been published in The Wire Artist Jeweler, Bead Unique and Art Jewelry magazines. She is a frequent instructor at Lapidary Journals’ BeadFest events, and has made a series of instructional DVDs, produced by Jewelry Television. As an instructor, she conducts workshops in her personal studio and by request, travels to teach classes at beadshops and other events nationwide. She has recently been one of many wire jewelry experts showcased by Wire-Sculpture.com through their tips, articles and other wire jewelry publications.
It’s time for us to face the music and admit our guilt. Let’s face it, over the past 3-4 months our tips have been, well, below average. When I say below average, I mean really below , like at the bottom of the Marianas Trench 35,838 feet below sea level! That’s how bad some of our tips have been recently.
We’ve known this for awhile now and have discussed many ways that this could be remedied. See, the problem was, we have many people here with the company that do wire working, but nobody that was considered an “expert” in the field. So while many of the tips had valid information in them, occasionally one would slip through the cracks that wasn’t quite up to par.
So, after putting our heads together we thought that the best way to combat the problem would be to get some wire jewelry experts on board with us.
If you haven’t noticed already, our tips have become much better than they used to be in recent days. Dale “Cougar” Armstrong is the first of many wire worker experts that will be assisting us in providing tips that are richer in content and more precise in their answers!
