I love beads, beading, beaded jewelry, and the people I encounter who have similar artful and crafting interests. In 1993, I walked into the Santa Cruz bead store and was drawn into orbit around the beading lifestyle. Since then I've learned and lectured on the in's and out's of creating beautiful jewelry or excellence.
Whether through the act of wearing or making jewelry, a magical aspect of who we are shines through. From compliments on your sparkling accessory to friends gathering for stitching sessions, each of our shimmering inner selves can find a real-world manifestation through adornment.
