Beadwork is a passion of mine. I love discovering the untold number of designs available by bringing together beads, waxed nylon beadstring, bobbins, metal wire and resin.

As for me, I enjoy weaving abstract items out of beads and bead thread or creating "paintings" with the help of seed beads, metal wire and resin. Long before I turned to beads, I was a kid who loved playing with legos, which are small, come in large quantities and dozens of shapes, and can be fixed together to create an unlimited number of structures. Like legos, beads are small and can be used to create an unlimited number of designs.
I have created and sold beaded art online and at venues. Some of my jewelry pieces use sewing bobbins as base beads, an idea that is not very widespread in the beading community. Most of my jewelry projects take one to seven hours to create. Beaded boxes can take between four and 20 hours, and beaded paintings can take days or weeks. I enjoy exploring what I can do.
