Beadwork Artist and Teacher
Beadwork has been dated back to Late Old Stone Age. Throughout history, we as humans have been drawn to adorn ourselves with beads.
I am fascinated with how this art form is taught, and the new beads and techniques, as well as learning the history of beadwork as it evolved over our planet.
Once a young software engineer told me this was a waste of time. I told him it was a fabulous waste of time and hung up on him.
