Whose eye is it? It's my nephew’s. In a way it’s a
fitting photo for beading, because...what if you couldn’t see all these
beautiful beads and things you could make with them?
In 2000 I found beading. What a sheltered life I’ve had. People have been beading for hundreds of years and I had just found it. A friend was wearing a beaded amulet necklace she had made and I was instantly intrigued. She told me about the Shepherdess store where they have classes and sale books, and beads, I think I went there the next day and spent my first fortune on beads, books, tools, and classes. Annette Maggiora working at the Shepherdess helped me pick out colors for my first project, a bracelet from Diane Fitzgerald's Zulu Beaded Chain Techniques book, and I've been hooked ever since.
