You may be asking yourself, what does an accountant from Central Ohio know about beads and baubles, and well, that's a very good question. Educationally, I have a Bachelor's Degree in Education, however, since my son was born, I've been working in banking and finance for the last 17 years. Way back when, I could only find a job substitute teaching right after college, and when I became pregnant, I knew I needed a stable income with benefits. So, I got a job at a bank and discovered that I'm really good with numbers. I've been in that field ever since, and I've only really regretted the decision a couple of times...usually in the summer time when all my teacher friends have the summers off. :)
Anyway, back to the beads and baubles. Working with numbers is boring, and I needed a creative outlet. For me, journaling, writing and making jewelry is that creative outlet. I became totally enamored with beads and pendants and findings. They are beautiful, and in my minds eye, I can picture gorgeous pieces created with the beads. They truly are a passion for me. I want to share all of that with you...the types of beads available, new beads when they come out, trade shows and gems shows across the region, as well as, what beads are made from.
I also appreciate bead art and have had the privelege of viewing many types of handmade lampwork beads and signature beaded pieces. I even spent some time on a Native American Indian Reservation and witnessed firsthand their beading technique.
I hope that as this blog gets started, and I begin to post some information, you will find it helpful. And please feel free to comment at any time or ask me any questions. I welcome them all!
