My love affair with beads goes back a few decades when I played around a little bit making porcupine earrings and did some minor loom work; but life got busy and it wasn't until the millennium when I was making a beautiful leather hat and decided to decorate it with beads, that the real addiction was born.
Since that fateful time, you would most likely see me with a bead project in a tray on my lap if you were to catch me sitting, and most recently, you will find me at my torch making beads to go with my designs if you were to come for a visit. You see, I find working with glass in any shape or form, something that is necessary to fulfill my spirit.
I hope that as you browse the galleries of Beaded Heron some of my work will bring a smile to your face. If any of my work strikes you as something you feel you can't live without, I have two shops open on ETSY. In one shop you will find finished jewelry pieces, and in the other you can shop for beads for your own creations, or a pendant to hang on your favorite chain or cord.
