Making Beads

I’ve been busy preparing for the Shop Local South Park Market tomorrow. In addition to my smaller paintings, prints, notecards and painted boxes, I will also be selling these hand made beaded necklaces and bracelets.

I hand make each bead by blending different colors of clay, much like my abstract paintings. Blending, shaping, baking, designing, and stringing takes a lot more time than you might think! I hope that you feel the time, love and care that I put into each piece.

      Thank you Michele! Now I remember why I don’t do these shows very often, it’s a lot of work, but it was fun, I made a little extra cash, and some new friends!😊
