I have been hand crafting jewelry for many years. My jewelry craft arises from a hobby that started when my mother first taught me a few basic stitches many years ago. As I grew in my craft, I would teach myself new techniques and would try to keep learning about beads, their various materials and colors, as well as interesting ways to weave them together. I would wear my creations myself or give them as gifts to family and friends. Many people would ask me, "Where did you buy that beautiful jewelry?" When I would tell them I had made it myself, they always wanted me to make pieces for them.
So I've decided to share my jewelry creations with the world. I am always so pleased to start with a basic bead weaving pattern and craft it into a new complex piece of wearable art with a unique blend of bead textures and colors. But that joy of creation is nothing compared to the joy I feel when I see how delighted people are with my creations.
