Beads, beads, beads!

Though I've been making jewelry for many years, what really got me excited about jewelry creation was when I began making my own beads from polymer. There is something really amazing about creating a necklace or bracelet from start to finish with handmade beads.


I want to share this experience with you! I'm now offering my expertly handmade beads, ready to string, for your own jewelry adventures. And I'll be showing them off at the upcoming Beads and Baubles Downeast bead and jewelry show this April!

The Beads and Baubles Downeast will be held in the Maine Grind Building, on the second floor of 192 Main Street in Ellsworth. It's happening this April 16th and 17th. The focus is on beads and lovely beaded jewelry at this spring bead show.

The show features 15 vendors including bead stores, lampwork glass artisans, jewelers working in the beading medium and individuals selling beads and buttons. Among the beads available for purchase will be vintage beads, artisan beads, Czech glass, Swarvoski crystal, felt beads, polymer beads, porcelain beads, gemstones, seed beads, findings and much much more.

It's going to be a lot of fun! If you've never made your own jewelry pieces before, you'll be surprised at how easy it is to put something together once you have beautiful beads to work with. And they'll be no shortage of gorgeous, artisan-made beads at this show!



My beads are very affordable and loved by jewelrymakers, beginning crafters, and kids, too. Stop by my booth and say hello!
