As a child nothing made me happier than playing with Pop-It Beads, using the different colors and sizes of beads to make necklaces and bracelets for wearing and giving away. Nothing, that is, except taking them apart and making new ones!
About 18 months ago, I took a beading class at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts with Adina DeRoy Stouffer. I discovered that it still delights me to use different colors, sizes, shapes, and kinds of gemstones and beads to make necklaces, bracelets, and earrings for wearing, giving, and selling.
Along with beaded gemstone jewelry, I also make one-of-a-kind silver and gold-filled cuff bracelets, wire-wrapped cabachons, and silver and beaded earrings. Additionally, I welcome special orders, and I’m available for some jewelry repair work.
You can see some of my designs at my etsy shop.
