~I fell in love with collecting beads when I wandered into a cool little shop called Diva Beads in my home town. It smelled of Nag Champa, cool jazz was playing on the speakers, and there were hundreds of little dishes filled with candy-colored goodness. I could spend hours looking and touching every bead, collecting them in a small box, then purchasing them piece by piece, bead by bead, charm by charm.
I was obsessed.
~I don’t source my beads from big supply chains or discount sites, and I don’t buy in bulk, so all my designs are original and one-of-a-kind, although I do go back to popular designs like super long strands of confetti seed beads and the beautiful Mala bead necklaces. I source my supplies from reputable specialty bead stores because I LOVE BEADS! Shiny, matte, natural shapes and fire-chiseled perfection, the earth-chilled roundness of stones, and the tiniest seed beads, the natural and infused color in the glass beads that look like miniature paintings.
I LOVE THEM ALL And I want to share them with you!
