"Segue to Spring" Necklace

"A self taught beader I have been beading in some form for over 35 years. Transforming cabochons into unique works of wearable sculpture has become my latest endeavor. Most of my work is a fusion of past and present materials as well as more modern pieces using semi precious stones and glass seed beads. Jewelry should be fun to wear as well as an adornment for the body.
A large part of my inspiration comes from living on MDI. I am constantly inspired by the colors and textures I see when surrounded by natures ever changing elements. I strive to re-create some of my art from the natural camouflage and colors I see when walking the shores or pathways that connect us to nature."
