Beading

When I was nine, my mom gave me a beading kit and a gift certificate for the bead store for Christmas.  The first time I stepped into a bead store, I was in heaven!  The variety of types and styles of beads and the jewelry you can create out of them is infinite.  Over the years, I've experimented with just about every beading technique and I'd love to share what I know so that you too can make beautiful jewelry to wear or give as gifts!
