I am a self-taught fiber and weaving artist.  For the past 15 years I have been developing my expertise using tiny glass seed beads.  Bead stitching techniques and patterns have literally been developed around the world over decades.  I try to use as many different techniques and designs in my work as make sense to me.  My inspirations include historical items, patterns in nature, and geometric designs.  The result of my efforts is that by using only a needle, thread, glass beads, and crystals I am able to hand weave intricate, light weight, comfortable, and unique jewelry and suncatchers that are a delight to wear and watch.
