I loved art from the minute they put that over sized man's dress shirt on me to protect my oh so lovely dotted Swiss frock. I would have lived at the easel if they would have let me. My mom use to complain that I never stuck with one thing. She was right. I still want to learn it all! The one thing I have stuck with is making glass beads. My style has changed in the 10 years and continues to evolve. And you will rarely find me without a camera in hand. My eye is a camera, it seems to see in frames. I grew up with a father who played at photography. We even had a darkroom in our home. So I am art.

This is a favorite artist Kimberly Hodges...she mixes so many designs into her works. This is the look that I would like my beads and jewelery to move toward. I want to incorporate my drawings,photography, lampwork beads and felting into the jewelery that I create...that is my work in progress...I am seeing signs that it is working. Stay tuned for futures festoons!Here is a lovely that was waiting for me to discover it at the Habitat Restore. As you can see from the one crystal hanging it is in the festooning process. Right now all the ideas are still in the head. I know that I will create a paper mache bird to nest in its branches!
That was fun! Thank you for partying!
