Gorgeous jewelry and the skills to make it await you.......
I've been creating some kind of fine and intricate handwork for over 40 years AKA - A Long Time. I'm an absolute fool for wire, beads, thread, yarn, embroidery floss, wire, fabric, beads, wire, and paper (oooh! origami!!) and oh, did I mention wire?
Once I start creating - I swear my feet don't touch the ground. Time doesn't matter. It's like paradise, only you don't need to search for it.
I write tutorials and jewelry magazine articles - my work has been featured in issues of Bead&Button's WireWork for the past year and a half and in Beadwork Magazine, I've had the great fortune to have been chosen as a finalist and placed in Bead&Button's Bead Dreams competition several times.
All the world needs is love, sunshine, a beach to sit on, sparkly baubles to fondle and mu shu chicken. That's it. And as soon as I figure out how to combine baubles and mu shu successfully, you'll be the second one to know......
