Beaded items, wireworked, wirewrapped, chain maille, and also polymer clay art beads. I have been beading since I was a teenager, which was a LONG time ago! I have been creating professionally for over ten years, and have sold literally all over the world! My items are all One Of A Kind, unless I am commissioned to create multiples of an item, and I enjoy creating custom works for individuals who are looking for that extra special item!

My art beads are also one of a kind, and are entirely created by hand. I never used molds, cutters or forms of any kine while creating my polymer clay art beads. Just my fingers and a few simple hand tools. My beads are very often mistaken for lampwork glass, and indeed, that is the look I strive for! I specialize in floral beads, roses, lillies, daisies, and many more. My roses often look like porcelain, I mix my clays in such a way that they truly look like they are kiln fired porcelain!

My husband makes lampwork art glass beads and pendants, which are kiln annealed for strength and durability. I use his beads and pendants in my finished pieces. They are quite unique and give my pieces an extra special personality all their own.

Hmmmm, tough one. I usually buy wholesale. But when I buy retail, I usually go to Hobby Lobby or Michaels. I do a lot of buying at trade shows when they come through town. I do use Art Beads and Fusion Beads in a pinch. Good prices and great to deal with.

Jewelry, BEADS, can't have too many beads! Critters of any kind. Open minded people. Warm summer days, and warmer summer nights! Children laughing. Kittens playing. Spring birds singing. Warm sunshine. "Hollywood Endings" to real life stories. The color purple, literally, I LOVE purple. A great comedy movie. ANYTHING that makes me laugh.

Narrow minded people, bigots, racists, intolerance of any kind. People who harm children, animals or the elderly. People who are greedy and do anything just for money. Rainy days. Snowy roads. Pain, had too much in my life. People who interfere in other people's lives. Those who like to cause hurt and pain to others. People who push their beliefs on others.

I'm a married mother of three, grandmother to three. I've been married nearly 27 years, wow how time flies! I work full-time in an animal hospital for my "day job". I love my job, and have worked with/around critters nearly my entire life! I love horseback riding, and playing with all my critters! I have a LOT! We live in a semi-rural area, and I love it!
