Here is my new site where I will be featuring the process of my lampwork bead making and artisan one-of a kind jewelry. I am along time Alaskan that has been making beads for about ten years. I have lived in Alaska since 1976 when I came here to visit my brothers and sister and fell in love with the place. It has been an adventure for me with many small lifetimes adding up to my present life as a beadmaker. I’ve spent time as a sardine packer, day care cook, camp cook, restaurant cook, highway flag-chick, heavy equipment operator: (street sweeper, dump truck, belly dump, loader operator, pothole filler) building maintenance worker, groundskeeper and momma. I have an affinity with New England as well since I was born in Maine and spent a the best bits bit of my childhood in Connecticut and Maine. Now I’m taking time to travel for more worldly adventures in my quest for beads and new experiences to inspire me.
