The older I get the more I appreciate the bittersweet reality of being an Artist. The print we embed when we create is a constant reminder of what we've done and what we must out do to grow as an Artist. I beaded my first bracelet at 6 1/2, utterly fascinated that I could color a 3 dimensional object. Jewelry is more than fashion trinkets, what we choose to adorn adds to our personal language. I have been writing poetry since age 10. Like the particular sound words make when paired the picture that variations of color and shapes paint can have a profound impact. Practically: I have been designing and wire wrapping for 30 years. I have long embraced the concept of Beads & Poetry. Etsy seems to be the perfect cyber place to combine the picture with the words!
