Beadlust! I love beads - glass, stone, itty-bitty seed beads and huge African trade beads, pretty flower beads and odd skull beads! Did you know beads are one of mankind's oldest artifacts and are treasured in nearly every culture since earliest man strung seeds and shells?

Since 1985, beads are my passion and livelihood. I create art with them, I travel the globe to buy and study about them. I teach and lecture nationally. And I write books so that you too can share this passion and journey along your own beaded pathway!

With the design tips and fully-illustrated techniques in my books, you may delight in creating many beautiful and unique projects with beads!
