I started beading at age six using “Indian seed beads” and elastic string. I have dabbled in various beading methods over the years, starting and stopping my “need to bead” over and over again.
I have finally come to the realization I am addicted to beads. I love to bead and often tell people “Some people are addicted to drugs, I am addicted to beads. They are just as expensive, healthier for you and legal.”
My husband insisted I stop “quitting the bead habit” and put a serious effort into beading. I have grown from a bead stringer to a passionate designer of quality pieces. My hobby has evolved into a professional business which exudes my pride in workmanship and quality pieces.
I seek inspiration from all around me. I search for unique beads, designs and ideas as I travel throughout the United States. My creative process is to simply immerse myself in my collection of beads and play. My artistic drive and passion for unique jewelry has lead to using high quality beading supplies to create one of a kind pieces. These pieces exemplify my artistic vision and design principles.
