It was at that time I began making my jewelry to wear with each costume and the term “beading” took on a whole new existence. Beading for my costumes was done with totally different materials and tools, like what is used for sewing/embroidery projects. The one common connection were the beads! 

So here I am today loving what I do and offering my artistic creativity and skills to focus on specialty creations for everyone! I offer designs already created or if you wish I can create one for you based upon your choices of beads, component findings (main parts such as chains, earring wires/bases/posts/backs, etc.) used with the creation in a variety of metals or other media.

My daughter Faith has joined me in this venture and is my Chief Financial Officer. She is well equipped for this position for her extensive education and experience in business and finance.
