Handmade One-of-a-Kind Accessories

I have enjoyed and been involved in art since I was young with the influence of my Grandmother. Guided by my mother, I began sewing clothes when I was 10 years old, gradually progressing to tailoring and much later, children’s clothes for my grandchildren. Embroidery, especially counted cross stitch, open work and pulled thread has been a joy and challenge to learn. A few years ago I decided to try beading.

Bringing all of these elements together has brought me full circle. It has been very enjoyable and satisfying to combine sewing, embroidery and beading to create the details that go into a scarf or purse. I enjoy the feel or “hand” of the textiles and using small seed beads for emphasis and embellishment.
