About the Author

"I began making jewelry in late 2004, working primarily with beads (not seed beads) and wire. It was 2006 when I made my first beadwoven project and since then, I’ve left stringing and wirework behind and focused on off-loom designs. I have been published more than a half dozen times since 2010, and had a piece featured on the cover of Beadwork Magazine in 2012."
