I worked in the business world for many years. One day, on my way to work, I got caught in a snowstorm. I was stuck on the interstate for two hours before traffic finally moved. I decided ENOUGH WAS ENOUGH and I quit that very day.
In my business travels, I would stop in crafts stores and visit other crafters who made unique beads. When I quit my job, I had filled two banker boxes full of all kinds of beads and pearls. I had made necklaces, earrings and bracelets for friends and myself. Why not design necklaces and sell them. So that is my profession now.
I love to create unique necklaces using traditional materials. I use semi-precious stones, pearls, and man-made beads from all over the world.
