| This is one of my favorite pieces. Jerry and I went to a Ren fest in 1995, and I bought a Nepal prayer bottle... this is before I began beading, but I really wanted to wear it! I took a vintage necklace I used to play with as a child, used 12 in. car pliers (!) to bend it, and I have a necklace that I still get compliments on! |

| This is the first real beading I did, sometime in 1995. You guessed it, one of those cheapie $5.00 looms from the toy section, complete with cheap really uneven beads. It took about 6 months to make, cause I kept getting disgusted with how uneven and bulgie it was.. but I was hooked! I kept coming back and back until the pattern was done. I haven't loomed since, went straight into off loom stitches.. I now have a brand new professional loom from Cindy's Crafts.. and I'm in the process of graphing something to try with it!! Yum! |

| barrette circa 1996 my first completed peyote project and the first experience with delica beads. I'm still very proud of it(mistakes and all!), and it's of my own design. |

| Ok, this is a bad scan. Made this in 1998, it's a quick simple necklace made with vintage 2 cuts, vintage crystals and soft-flex. I've sold a couple of these! |
