I create unique jewelry pieces using gemstones, raku, ornamental antiques, crystals, sea glass, druze, and old trade beads. I travel extensively and frequently obtain ideas and varieties of beads along the way. My favorite beads are old trade beads. I have given several talks to various groups on "The History of Beads". Often a piece I make will combine old trade beads with gemstones, ornamental antiques or other types of beads. Each piece is one of a kind.
