Personal
I live in the Southwest with my hubby, dog, and birds. My first exposure to beading was almost 30 years ago when I purchased some thread and acrylic beads. Life got way too busy and the beads went into storage. Through a friend, my love for beading was renewed and out came all the supplies! Now I’m a certified beading ‘addict’ and you can’t imagine the supplies I now have! Hubby jokes about “the house foundation cracking because of the weight of all those stones!” I love to bead and especially love working with gemstones and deco Czech glass. I also enjoy creating a variety of styles and designs.
I am so happy to have found Lima Beads and all their great products, and all of you wonderful beaders out there! Thanks for all the inspiration you have given me!

Mine are very plain–I really [...]

My favorite part just might be the addition of the crystals to the earwires–great idea! As for the move, we [...]

This is a sweet gift for your daughter. I like how you attached the owl to the necklace keeping with the patterned design and flow of the piece. She will surely treasure this necklace handmade with love.

I really like that you chose the Mookaite (a favorite of mine) to use with the ceramic focal. The variety of subdued colors work so well in this design, and the added chain layer is great too. Love the arrow with the tribal horse! Great piece!
