<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
And because they are built on a paper core they are extremely lightweight and perfect for jewelry.</div>

I'm featured in my favorite jewelry magazine again!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
The photographers at Belle Armoire Jewelry magazine do such an amazing job, I am thrilled with how they presented my pieces!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The feature includes some brief explanation of technique and a list of supplies. As usual the magazine is chock full of inspiration from some amazing jewelry artists like Susan A. Ray and Teresa Kiplinger.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Two of these pieces have sold and are already on their way to their new home in Canada.</div>

Look who's enjoying some of my books! These three classes of second-grade students
from South Walker Elementary School in Walker, LA really love to read! Their

This may be my youngest fan! We haven't met, but I received this pic from her aunt who says her niece loves having this read to her multiple times a day. The BUTTON board-book series was done so many years ago I can't even remember, probably in the mid-1980's. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So sweet!</div>

Playing with surface treatments on my beads:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
washes, drips, spatters, layers on layers of paints, inks, patinas, glazes, powders to create something new. Plus even more layers of polycrylic to give some of them a surface that's glass-like.</div>

Lately I've been on a paper bead kick ~ using my stash of painted papers, and designs I have made just for bead making ~ and have made boxes full of pretty patterned beads all waiting to become used in a piece of jewelry.<br />
<br />
These are works in progress:<br />
