As far back as I can remember I have always been absorbed with the
designing and making of individual hand crafted works.
I trained as a silversmith then as a leather worker making hand
stitched leather goods.

One day a friend invited me to a Spring
Fair where I bought a beaded bracelet, hand woven with glass beads.
It was perfectly matched to my shawl and greatly appealed to my
fashion sense, having worked in the fashion retail business for
years.
I was well and truly inspired, so much so that some very good books
later I was well on the way to being a self taught bead artist.
I particularly love weaving Japanese beads because of their quality,
precision and vast colour range.
This teamed and complemented by crystal, semi precious stones and
pearls give me endless pleasure in their variety.
* I like to make very wearable bead work.
* Pieces that become your favourite.
* Beautiful comfortable and hard-wearing.
Care Instructions [TLC]
Many people like to know how to look after their beaded pieces so
that one day it might be a survivor and make it to be a vintage
piece. Treat the bead-work as you would for pearls , no perfume
or hairspray and store in a soft pouch out of direct sunlight and
clean with soft damp cloth and avoid harsh detergents.
