What was your inspiration?

My inspiration was to create wearable art. This particular bracelet (photo) is just one of many.It was one that African Dance inspired me to make. Beads with affirmations was where it started. Than I saw a market for making bracelets and wine rings for local wineries using the differnt appellations and the varietal that is grown in that appelation. Being I am in the heart of wine country, tourism is a big market and I wanted to target that market with my art.

What are you most proud of?

What makes me proud is the support and interest from local business. I am also honored to see those who love and wear my pieces.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Have fun!

I love the beads you used in this bracelet. Are those bone dice?
