Meet The maker
WHO ARE YOU, WHERE ARE YOU FROM, & WHAT DO YOU DO?
I am an Augusta, GA, Retired Senior Crafter, who loves beading. It is my hobby, my pastime, and my happy place. Other than in the kitchen, I am at my beading table weaving, stringing, creating earrings, bracelets, necklaces, or working on my most recent passion, bead embroidery.
DESCRIBE YOUR PROCESS.
I string beads using Fireline, Seed Beads, Crystals, Glass Beads, Gem Stones, Faux Pearls, Metal beads and Stainless Steel Components
WHAT INSPIRES YOU?
I am inspired by looking out my window at God’s Beautiful Creation, birds, trees, water, leaves, sky. Also at times, I scan Pinterest, Beading Books, or go shopping at Hobby Lobby for inspiration.
FUN FACT ABOUT YOU.
I love to go antique shopping, go to estate sales, or Good-Will. Always looking for things to enhance my craft booth set-up.
FAVORITE THING ABOUT DOWNTOWN AUGUSTA.
The River Front, River Walk and the unique Restaurants
WHY DO YOU LOVE TO DESIGN, CREATE + MAKE?
I love to keep busy; I think it is good for health and soul. And, as you work at a craft it gives you great pleasure to create and make something that someone else also loves and want to have for their own.
WHAT IS ONE PIECE OF ADVICE YOU WOULD SHARE WITH OTHER ARTISTS + MAKERS?
Enjoy your gift and remember it takes time to build your reputation and to grow your business. Don’t give up.
