Get to Know

Welcome to my ArtFire Store! I don't make jewelry so I can sell it, I sell it so I can create more! I love the creative process, the sparkle, the colors and varieties of beautiful beads. On Twitter, I am Bead_Tips, sharing what I've learned in my twelve years of beading. Please FOLLOW me!

I like to work with Tagua Nut & Kazuri beads - Fair Trade and Eco Friendly products that actually do some good for the world.

These pretty dragonfly pins are made with wire lace. They are as delightful to make as they are to wear. I will have these for sale in my ArtFire shop.

Peyote stitched beads are an element I make for my bracelets. They are fun to make and add a special touch.

Every year I attend the Bead and Button Show in Milwaukee in June and take classes from the best teachers in the world. It is the highlight of my year!
