| "My jewelry is fashioned using primarily glass seed beads of various sizes, enhanced with cut crystals, freshwater pearls and other accent beads. My passion for gardening provides inspiration for many of my designs, providing me with an opportunity to grow beautiful flowers year-round! As I thrive on the riotous colors of flowers in my gardens, I equally delight in the infinite colorations of the glass beads in my studio. Sometimes, it is the beads alone that inspire; how they dance with other beads in particular patterns of stitches. Whatever the inspiration, my necklaces, bracelets and earrings tend to draw attention. Why wear jewelry, an embellishment, if not to have others notice? " | ||
