Happy New Year!

I wanted to thank everyone for the tremendous support this year with my art. It was a remarkable experience for me. The last few weeks have been spent taking care of the new addition to my family. I so look forward to 2012 with new innovative bead concepts and to push the medium even further! Thank you again......

As I have stared at my coral piece and stared at my turtle I realized that they were both incomplete. After trying a few extra's and no success I combined both pieces. Seems way too easy but it really works. Now to be submitted to a show.

Congressional Recognition

There are very few moments in my life which I have enjoyed opening the mail. Today was one of them, I almost cried. My very first beaded art piece, Obama, My Hope, is in Winter Park Florida for a wonderful show and I was sent this congressional recognition "Keeping, Hope, Alive, Though, Art".
