Judy uses the affordable base metals of copper, brass, and nickel silver, but has taken an interest in polymer clay with its range and intensity of color. Her most favored style of jewelry design is bold abstract; using many techniques including hand soldering, hammer decoration, and reticulation – the use of a pattern of interlacing lines.

In addition to jewelry making, she writes and lectures on the history of the Ancient Near East, and sometimes uses designs from that period in her work.
