I’ve been sparkling up the studio this week to make more beaded pieces. Then I tagged all the newbies for the upcoming 3-day sale. Tomorrow I’ll be setting up in front of See Jane Sparkle for the Evanston Sidewalk Sale. I’ll have a table in front of 1312 Chicago Avenue from 10 am to 4 […]

Curated by Ahavani Mullen, the show had a variety of media represented. The show runs through July 29. The art center is located at 306 […]

One of my pieces, Infinity, was accepted into the show. I’ll be among familiar FUSEDChicago artists, including Carol Hamilton, Rebecca Stahr, Carol L. Meyers, […]
Angel is literally making new friends. When I signed up for Bead & Button workshops there was a reverse engineering option but due to lack of registration the workshop was dropped. Instead, Brenda Schweder offered to help me reverse engineer my angel ornaments remotely, and I sent one in. Soon I received an email with […]
