Bracelets
It all began when I was a school administrator looking for a hobby. I began stringing beads to make bracelets, earrings and necklaces. When I retired, I became fascinated with making my own flame work beads. I have taken a wide variety of classes from world-class bead makers: Kristina Logan, Stephanie Sersich and Liliana Glen. I use string, bead embroidery and weaving techniques to create my one of a kind pieces. The colors of the effretti glass from Murano and Bull’s Eye Glass from Seattle are used to construct my beads.
