This is the seventh in a series of profiles
of the artists who are living The Tallulah Life.
My first memory of making jewelry was at my 5th birthday party. Back then I used nylon fishing line and plastic beads. Today I prefer sterling, gold, glass and pretty stones.
While I love to string all kinds of
pretty beads in any configuration that comes to mind, I've been trying to
stretch myself by learning bead weaving, bead crochet, kumihimo, and improving
my wire working skills.
The best part about making jewelry (besides playing with all the pretty beads!) is when someone picks up one of my pieces and their face just lights up because it touches them in some way.
When I'm not making jewelry, I'm working with young adults
with developmental disabilities. While I do love my job and the people I work
with, it can be stressful and having a great creative outlet is wonderful.

I
have lots of plans for new beady projects, so I'm looking forward to this
summer!
