NEW!! I’ve just begun a blog with reflections about folk arts and creative beading. It’s a great place to see my latest happenings, newest projects and collections. I always include at least one photo with each posting. There’s a lot of inspiration and eye candy.

Keep visiting and be inspired to bead creatively,
