I love creating something from scratch. To have a vison of a piece of jewelry in my head and then watch it come to life as I put it together..is amazing.

The wedding necklace I did for my best friend

I like a little bit of everything

everywhere...magazines, fabrics, my head, paint swatches...

My beadroom..if I need a quite place to work.

mostly on-line-Firemountain.com, Auntiesbeads, Artbeads..There are a few local places...BeadPlace and Sanddollar beads

I made the traditional friendship bracelets when I was in grade school and junior high. When I was home for Christmas break my freshman year of college, my mom found a pattern for friendship braclets with a twist. The twist was to use plastic canvas with the embrodery floss to create letters. My mom took one to work and came home with 10 orders. I spent the entire Christmas break making and selling bracelets. My first experience with making money doing something that I love.
