I am a retired teacher, a poet, and a crafter. I work with several
mediums like polymer clay, resin, leather, feathers and beads. As a jewelry crafter, I search for the prettiest glass beads and the most
interesting elements I can get my hands on. I work primarily with
premium Czech fire-polished glass beads that catch the light with
a variety of facet cuts and sizes and specialty Picassos with
delicate surprises of color. I use tiny 11/0 Miyuki Delicas for my
loom beading, and I love ceramic beads , wooden beads,
and natural stones. I chose to call this collection The Elementals.
I live in California and draw inspiration from the earth and sand,
the ocean and beaches and rivers, birds and the Cali sun and sky ,
and the arena pow wow bonfire to honor my relatives.
I make dream catchers and leather medicine bags, too.
I am obsessed with the alchemy of verdigris and anything mystical,
magical and whimsical. My website is a place that welcomes all
and celebrates diversity. Come with me on this crafty journey!
This is good medicine! Osiyo!
