My bead journey began in 2011 when I talked my sister into taking a class with me at a local Michael’s store to string beads onto memory wire. We both did stringing for a while but she figured it was easier for me to make the jewelry for both of us. Once I saw all of the beautiful designs available, I began watching YouTube videos and took classes to learn various stitches with seed beads. I ventured into chain mail for a while when I purchased a book with the patterns. It wasn’t until I moved to Florida in 2015 where I was introduced to bead embroidery. I took classes from a number of wonderful instructors and that is where I found my happy place. I like the freedom bead embroidery allows one to create unique art. I teach groups locally and I have been creating designs since 2019 for teaching at the Orlando Bead Retreat.

The Pattern Book is ready!

Thank you Shawn Brown and Karen Bettin for all of your hard work to make this a reality!
