    Welcome to my site map. Here are direct links to all of my pages in a straightforward format. I hope you enjoy your visit. If that which you are seeking remains elusive, please write to me.

  • Fine Art Paintings
    My fine art gallery contains mainly landscapes and the occasional still life. I work in watercolor, acrylic, Prisma Pencils, and other media. I lean strongly towards a rather impressionist style of working but it is, nonetheless, my own unique style and statement.
  • Beadwork Gallery
    I design and make all of my one of a kind handmade beadwork myself. Each piece is created to be a source of joy to its purchaser and descendants. Each piece is a one of a kind heirloom for now and for the future.

    I have divided this beadwork gallery into smaller rooms based on style, stitch, or jewelry type. Earrings and bracelets each have their own gallery, as do my kits. Necklaces have the most divisions: tubular netting, fringe, overlapping loop fringes, and collar style necklaces. There is also a gallery devoted to the use of vintage jewelry incorporated into my designs.

    • Handmade Beaded Necklaces - Peyote Stitch

    • Poem and Jewelry
      Something really differnt for the someone you care about - a poem written to your order plus beautiful handmade beaded jewelry. Now that's unique!

  • Restored Vintage Jewelry
    These pieces have been restored, revived and renewed so that they can bring pleasure to the discerning once again. Most of these vintage jewelry works arrive in less than perfect condition. Some need repair while others need only cleaning. Many require new rhinestones. In giving this jewelry new life, I very often add my own spice -- I change out worn and boring rhinestones for more colorful and sparkling ones.

  • Kits
    These Shawl Earring kits are a smaller derivation of some of the earrings I have for sale on my earrings page. If a color combination you want isn't shown, contact me for custom color mixing. All kits included detailed instructions with pattern and illustrations of the beadwork.

  • Classes
