This is the third in a series of profiles of the artists
who are living The Tallulah Life
From the time I was a child, I recall coloring, cutting, and
pasting paper. As I got older, I discovered that there were a myriad of
colorful media I was attracted to, including paint, colored pencils, and
colored and patterned paper. I’ve tried my hand at many art and craft projects,
including needlework and scrapbooking.
Most recently I have been caught up in the beading bug. You
just can’t have too many beads. I have other artsy friends who were also trying
beading techniques, including bead weaving, who encouraged my addiction and
taught me their secrets. I have enjoyed working with glass and semi-precious
beads and various metal wires. I have also been experimenting with polymer
clay, which I find is a natural extension for a jewelry maker. Finding attractive
ways to combine all these materials into necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and
rings has been my goal. My favorite color palettes are inspired from the sea
and the southwest dessert, so you will see a lot of that in my work. Nature has
always had a special attraction --
Our Creator is the ORIGINAL artist.
