Hello everyone!

It's been over a year since I've updated my home page. A little behind, I'd say. My shop is now located inside The Shops at Third Street Promenade and things couldn't be better.  The Promenade is a fantastic local art boutique here in Cullman that caters to local artists throughout the South. It's a beautiful and unique boutique that sells all artist-made items of all kinds. Art classes such as recycled objects-turned-art, paintings, pottery, wood turnings, etc. are also offered there. You really should drop in the Promenade just to browse this neat shop, if nothing else, just to have a look. You'll be happy you did. I promise! 

Are you ready for some FOOTBALL!!! We sure are! 'Bama, LSU & The New Orleans Saints!

  • I will be bringing LSU, ALABAMA and AUBURN Beads to The Shops at Third Street Promenade next week (Aug. 10th). I  have Elephants with the "A" on the butt, Elephant Heads, Orange Tigers, Gold Tigers and Tiger Heads, Auburn,  BAMA, & LSU Letter beads as well. These have large holes that fit on my lovely Sterling Silver Pendant bead holders as well as on the Beadable pens and other beadible items.
     

  • Create your own Beadable Pendant, Bead Pen, Appetizer Forks/Spoons, Salad Serving Set with one or any number of my handmade glass lampwork beads. These make excellent gifts.
     

  •  Look for more of my Beads-on-Keys , Glass End Push-pins, Glass Drop Pendants and more soon.

***Notice***
After being asked by many people if I teach, I have decided it was time I  started Glass Lampwork Beadmaking Workshops.
I am offering 3, 4 or 5 day Beginner through Intermediate Workshops. I will post more information about the workshops soon but I can tell you that all workshops will be One-on-One only. I feel this is the best way to teach as well as learn. You get all of my undivided attention and workshops will be customized according to your stage in the beadmaking process as well as what you want to learn.
If you are interested in scheduling one of my workshops, please click here to inquire.

I am still working on getting the online shop completed soon so that all of you can visit the website for beads and findings online, as well as my own lampwork beads and jewelry. The website will feature Sterling Silver findings at really great prices. Until then you can reach me via email, or drop by The Shops at Third Street Promenade.

I sincerely wish all of you the very best. Happy Beading!
