The world is white
My boys are home from school
Life is good

He gave me a rose

faded now
but the memory lasts
forever

Bead Soup Collection - Lichen (NEW!)

My parent's apple orchard is covered with various lichens and moss. How could I resist those gorgeous grey-greens?

Bead Soup Collection

A rainbow of color marches across my studio
Thousands of boxes of beads
Waiting to be labeled
And shipped all over the world

Brewing Color

Thousands of beads
Hundred of pretty little boxes
Mixing bead soups and playing with color
