One question that many people ask me is, " do you make your own beads"? That is a skill all unto itself and one that I have yet to take up! I am fortunate however to live just 2 hours away from the largest International Gem and Mineral Show in the World!Once a year, bead vendors from all over the world take over TucsonArizona. Every hotel and motel in town is booked and packed with vendors selling beads. I buy my Czech beads from Lenka, who is from the CzechRepublic, and her husband Jamey. I buy my African Beads from traders directly from Western Africa…and so on. Buying my beads in this fashion and staying out of the retail stores saves you, my customer, a lot of money. Not to mention it provides unique one of a kind beads that simply can not be found at Michaels! Speaking of one of a kind, all of my designs are one of a kind; accept for all sterling logo pieces.
