Me
I have been stitching in one form or another since I was a small child. Today I use embroidery to express my view and understanding of the world.
I have enjoyed making glass beads in my garden workshop since 2005.I like to use my beads to make bead sets, key rings and simply strung, but striking jewellery.
The bead making process involves melting the end of a glass rod in a flame, then wrapping the molten glass around a steel rod. Dozens of colours and a vast array of techniques means the scope for unique bead designs is almost limitless.
