The mystery that is Madd Dogg: People are probably curious or confused about my shop name, "Madd Dogg of Tomorrow". Madd Dogg is my nickname, made up by my son and used by him and all his friends. There are a few "incidents" from my past that may have helped lead up to this nickname but I think it's more ironic than anything else because I'm usually pretty mild mannered, just don't make me mad ;)

When I started making jewelry I didn’t have a clear focus of what I wanted to make. I had a lot of raw materials built up from years of collecting. People also started giving me odds and ends they didn’t want that I’ve ended up working into my jewelry. I like to use old watches, clocks and hardware components such as washers, nuts and screws. I’ve been combining these with gold, silver and copper findings and bits and baubles I get off of old pieces of jewelry and come up with some beautiful and unique pieces.
