I have always loved unique and one of a kind jewelry. Once I retired, I decided to learn how to create my own jewelry. I started out with traditional bead stringing and then I discovered BEAD EMBROIDERY and BEAD WEAVING. Since then, I have developed a passion for creating jewelry, including necklaces, bracelets and earrings that are original, unique and statement pieces. My work is influenced by Native American, Egyptian and Victorian beadwork. I am a member of The National League of American Pen Women and The Central Florida Bead Society and have won several National, State and Local Awards for my jewelry creations.
