Here is a little about Kathy

I am a Medical Technologist by trade, but recently became disabled and now have time to devote to my jewelry. Crafting has always been a part of my life. I took art lessons as a child, and have been doing some sort of art or craft ever since. My grandmother taught me how to do simple beadweaving when I was 10 or 11 years old. , but it wasn't until about 5 years ago that I began designing and making my jewelry. I am an avid bead collector and always have a large supply on hand from which to create. My inspiration comes from nature. Color and texture in my work comes from the colors and textures of the natural world. Right now, my favorite form of expression is bead,embroidery. I was a finalist in the 2008 Fire Mountain Beading Contest with my bead embroidery piece "Vintage Sparkle". (to be added to this site soon) I love being able to put what nature has to offer together to create pieces that will inspire people and touch their souls! All of my jewelry pieces have a story and have special meaning to me and hopefully for my buyers too!
