Jewelry design is my passion. I have created many forms of jewelry, sold, taught, and published numerous articles in magazines and booklets. My primary goal is to share my passion with others by teaching and selling items. Bead weaving of all kinds allows me to create a wide range of jewelry. I work with all kinds of beads in the process. In addition, I sometimes wander to other art forms. But mostly is it jewelry that captures my busy hands.
I have decided to stop teaching and vending in national events in 2019. I hope to attend bead events for fun now and enjoy local teaching. I am teaching on the Heather Powers Bead Cruise in 2020 and may do other select shows or retreats.
I am on Facebook as myself.
If you ever wondered why you see an email or contact information with "violetnut" referring to me, this is why. I used to grow, show, hybridize and obsess over African Violets. I was a senior judge for many years and participated at local, regional, and national shows. I published several articles in the magazines on African Violets and other Gesneriads. It was a big part of my life for many years. So now you know.
Believe it or not, I am a retired financial manager. I guess I've gone from counting "beans" to "beads". Well they call accountants bean counters don't they?
When I am not travelling, walking, or on my bicycle, I color my world inside with beautiful beads.
I love to travel: Bar Harbor, Maine 2019:
