All Strung Out

I have been in the bead industry for 20 years. I began doing the weekend shows throughout the Central Coast. I was inspired at the time by things I saw in Santa Fe and Taos, always with a love for the OLD Trade Beads and their history. In 1990, we moved to Taos, for family and business reasons and I ended up opening a retail bead/craft shop.

We moved back to California this year, but I have kept up my wholesale and retail work. Being back has opened new ideas to me, and I am doing more work with the Japanese Delica and Czech seed beads. But, I am still doing my Treasure Necklaces, and still have regular followers.

My pieces are individual creation; thus no two will be exactly alike. I let people know when they order that the piece will be similar and sometimes better, than the example that they see.
