Adding a bit of Sparkle


A sprinkle of 'Spring Garden' (Seed Bead Soup Collection) adds dew-drop like sparkle to the felt flower pin

Bead soups are a bead artist's equivalent of a paint palette. A glorious way to mix colors together for a result that is better than the sum of all parts.

But bead soups aren't just used for jewelry!

A Stormy President's Day Weekend





Wind and rain
Watching Eagles circle and glide overhead
Then land in pairs on the barn
And on the beach


Exhilarating beach walks
A nice hot cup of tea afterwords

Playing in my studio
With beads rolling around on the table, and the floor
Restocking my Seed Bead Soup Collection
