About Me:: I LOVE color and I LOVE glass, so becoming a glass beadmaker seemed to be the natural progression for me. Before making beads I was a quilter and an oil painter. I love both of those mediums, but once I discovered glass everything else paled in comparison. I have been making glass beads since 1999. I retired from the nursing profession the year before, so I was able to devote lots of time to my new found love :)
I've been married (to the SAME man ) for 39 years He is my number one supporter and often makes me things for my studio like glass storage units and tool keepers.
My favorite beads to make are those that have the appearance of watercolor flowers. These beads are very time consuming but appeal to my need to do teeny tiny detail work.
When I am not making beads, spending time with my grandchildren is one of my favorite things to do.

(Designers only) I have been featured on:: The ISGB Bead Release, The Annealer website

A pesky little new problem in my back requires that I have yet another spinal fusion. I'm on the schedule for 7:30 am on Wed...so keep me in your thoughts.
