Charley KeyWhile attending a St Jude’s benefit show, Charley was blown away by the jewelry creations of Dale ‘Cougar’ Armstrong and asked to take classes. That was three years ago and now, to relax during “downtime” from her real job of making parts for American army tanks, Charley enjoys making wire jewelry. Her favorite projects are earrings because they can be easily made in an evening. Charley’s previous way to unwind included all types of small needlework. She is proud of her Cherokee heritage and often it influences her personal jewelry designs. A native of southeast Tennessee, Charley lives with her two furry companions, T-Bone and Maryjane
