5 out of 5 starsThis is a complicated pattern for the experienced beader, but it was really great to learn new techniques. I have enjoyed working on it and it will be beautiful when completed.

I started beading unexpectedly in 2007 after completing two undergraduate programs and a year of graduate school, and haven't looked back! I love making wearable artwork with beads and sharing my passion with students around the world.
