Hello, my name is Gina and I'm a rockoholic. ;D
I collected my first rock when I was like, 3. Last time I went to visit my Mom she gave me my rock collection from when I was a kid- not all of it was there (I used to keep my old school boxes since I got a new one every year and put rocks in them) because she had moved a couple of times and the movers charge by the pound but a few of the items that bring back fond memories of collecting with my Dad were there. It was fun looking through it.
I like to slab and cab. I do silversmithing and am currently learning the art of bead embroidery. I have done chain maille, investment casting and wire wrapping as well as kumihomo and a myriad of other types of art mediums but my all time favorite is cutting and cabbing stone.
I am happy to be a part of this great family. :)

Welcome! Though I'd have to say with all the stuff you've listed, including silversmithing, I'd say you don't sound like a "noob" :)
Cutting stone can be therapeutic I think. Relaxing, enjoyable, and some nice results sometimes. :)
