I was looking through my designs and thought it interesting how they’ve evolved over time. Here’s a glimpse:
First I was focused on beads, beads, beads. I still am to a large degree. But then my focus was beading, pure and simple:
Then I started varying my techniques with beads by using waxed cord, knotting and playing with a variety of closures.

I started to get bored with just beading and wanted to take my craft to another level so I started dabbling in metalwork and wire wrapping.
I still have a passion for beads, but I’ve grown from just beading to incorporating metal work and wire into my creations. Learning new techniques keeps me fresh and keeps the work interesting. It’s all a part of my journey and …..Who knows where it will go from here?
Tell me what you think about how my style has evolved as well as how your own creative journey has evolved.
