Hi, My name is Phyllis and I am the BeadWizzard. I have been collecting and working with beads since I was a little girl. I have always been fascinated by stones of all kinds, even the big ones called Rocks!! I started my love of beading with Indian patterns, culture and their jewelry. This led me into making free style beaded earrings, headbands and wire jewelry in the days of the hippies, starting in 1966. I worked with leather, seed beads, charms and wire forms.

As I got older, I graduated into semi-precious gem stones, loom work and wire wrapping. I experimented with both gold and silver wire, copper, stainless steel and galvanized wire to get different finishes and designs. I flattened the wire, and polished it. Pretty soon, I had so many pairs of earrings, bracelets and necklaces that I went on the craft show circuit and eventually to selling on the internet.

What you find on my site are some basic designs that are good for specific holidays. I have also expanded the line into gem stones, swarovski and chechoslavakian crystals as well as seed beeds, delica beads and more. Yes, wire wrapping and other free form wire designs are surging out of my head, and will show up too.

So, sit back, let your fingers and the mouse do the work, and wander through my creations here or on my web site, www.Holiday-Earrings.com.
